Answer:
2.99×10²⁵ molecules of CO₂ are produced
Explanation:
Decomposition reaction is:
Ca(HCO₃)₂ => CaO(s) + 2CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
Ratio is 1:2. Let's make a rule of three:
1 mol of bicarbonate can produce 2 moles of CO₂
Therefore, 24.9 moles of bicarbonate may produce, 49.8 moles (24.9 .2 )/1
Let's determine the number of molecules
1 mol has 6.02×10²³ molecules
49.8 moles must have (49.8 . 6.02×10²³) / 1 = 2.99×10²⁵ molecules
