The absorption of carbon dioxide gas by solid calcium oxide is represented by the following chemical equation:
CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) \text{CaO(s)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s)Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide, in kg\text{kg}kg, needed to react exactly with 14 kg of calcium oxide.
[Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Ca=40\text{Ca} = 40Ca=40]
