When 45 grams of copper (ii) carbonate are decomposed with heat how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced

16.02 g

Explanation:

the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows

CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂

molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1

number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol

according to the molar ratio

1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂

therefore 0.364 mol of  CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂

number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol

therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g

16.02 g of CO₂ produced

increased stability in the completion of fluorine's outer shell.
