A scientist completes a thermal decomposition reaction. 12.25g of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, is heated and forms calcium oxide, Cao, and carbon dioxide, CO2.
a. Write a balanced chemical equation to demonstrate this reaction. Include state symbols.

b. Calculate the number of moles of calcium carbonate that is thermally decomposed in this
reaction.
Ok

Moles of calcium carbonate : 0.1225

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

mass of CaCO₃ : 12.25 g

mol CaCO₃(MW=100 g/mol) :

i believe the answer is c. "baking" is the gerund, while "baking blueberry muffins" would be the gerund phrase. hope this ! : )
