Question

2 moles of Ca(HCO3)2 on heating forms 1 mole of co2. The yield of co2 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given the reaction:

Ca(HCO

3

)

2

Δ

CaO+H

2

O+2CO

2

2 moles of 50% pure Ca(HCO

3

)

2

means one mole of Ca(HCO

3

)

2

.

So, according to reaction, 2 moles of CO

2

should form but, as only one mole formed.

Therefore, % yield =

2

100

=50%.
