Zinc carbonate decomposes when heated.
ZnCO3→ZnO+CO2\text{ZnCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{ZnO} + \text{CO}_2ZnCO3→ZnO+CO2
The relative formula mass of zinc carbonate, ZnCO3\text{ZnCO}_3ZnCO3, is 125. At room temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3.
Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide, measured at room temperature and pressure, produced when 6.25 g of zinc carbonate decomposes completely.
