Copper carbonate breaks down on heating according to the equation:
CuCO3→CuO+CO2\text{CuCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CuO} + \text{CO}_2CuCO3→CuO+CO2
A sample containing 2.47 g of copper carbonate is heated until it has completely decomposed.
The relative formula mass (MrM_rMr) of copper carbonate is 123.5.
At room temperature and pressure (rtp), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3.
Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide given off, measured at rtp. Give your answer in cm3\text{cm}^3cm3.
