Acid precipitation dripping on limestone produces carbon dioxide by the following reaction: $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)+2 \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)$ If $15.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ was produced at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $760 \mathrm{mmHg}$, then a. how many moles of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ were produced? b. how many milligrams of $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$ were consumed?

Key Concepts

Ideal Gas Law

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) is used to relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas to the number of moles present. This concept is fundamental for calculating moles of a gas when given its volume under specific conditions, as it provides the relationship necessary to convert observed gas volumes into mole quantities.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves using a balanced chemical equation to determine the quantitative relationships between reactants and products. It is crucial for converting the number of moles of one substance (such as CO?) to the corresponding moles of another substance (such as CaCO?) based on the coefficients indicated in the reaction.

Unit Conversion

Unit conversion is an essential tool for ensuring that quantities are expressed in compatible units throughout a calculation. This includes converting volumes from milliliters to liters, moles of a substance to its mass, and ultimately ensuring all measurements align with the requirements of the calculation process.
