Answer to Question #198498 in General Chemistry for lea

Question

You carefully weigh out 19.00 g of CaCO3 powder and add it to 76.95 g of HCl solution. You notice bubbles as a reaction takes place. You then weigh the resulting solution and find that it has a mass of 88.16 g . The relevant equation is CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→H2O(l)+CO2(g)+CaCl2(aq). Assuming no other reactions take place, what mass of CO2 was produced in this reaction?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Mass of CO2 produced=18.63g
