Question 48

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3\text{CaCO}_3CaCO3​, decomposes when heated.

Calcium oxide, CaO\text{CaO}CaO, is made. Carbon dioxide is a waste product.

CaCO3→CaO+CO2 \text{CaCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CaO} + \text{CO}_2 CaCO3​→CaO+CO2​

What is the atom economy of the reaction to produce calcium oxide?

Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr​): CaCO3=100.1\text{CaCO}_3 = 100.1CaCO3​=100.1, CaO=56.1\text{CaO} = 56.1CaO=56.1, CO2=44.0\text{CO}_2 = 44.0CO2​=44.0
