A substance X contains 10 gram of calcium carbonate calculate the number of mole of calcium carbonate present in X

☃️ Chemical formulae ➝

For solving this question, We need to know how to find moles of solution or any substance if a certain weight is given.

Atomic weight of elements:

Ca = 40

C = 12

O = 16

❍ Molecular weight of

= 40 + 12 + 3 × 16

= 52 + 48

= 100 g/mol

❍ Given weight: 10 g

Then, no. of moles,

⇛ No. of moles = 10 g / 100 g mol‐¹

⇛ No. of moles = 0.1 moles

☄ No. of moles of Calcium carbonate in that substance = 0.1 moles
