In order to produce CO2, a student put a sample of calcium carbonate in a flask and added hydrochloric acid using the following equation: Ca(CO3) + HCl → H2O + CO2 + CaCl2 The student finds the mass of CO2 generated to be 100 g. If the student began with 200 g of HCl and there was ample CaCO3 left unreacted, what was the percent yield?

Ican determine the molar mass of an element by looking on the under the atomic mass for the element. for example the molar mass of phosphorus is 30.974 grams/mole. avogadro’s number tells me the amount of representative particles in 1 mole of any substance. this means 12.011 gram sample of carbon and a 32.0 gram sample of sulfur have the same number of atoms.
