MCQ : The volume of CO2 Produced at STP from 1 mole of calcium carbonate is

Question

The volume of CO₂ Produced at STP from 1 mole of calcium carbonate is

1. 22.4 L
2. 11.2 L
3. 5.6 L
4. 11 L

Answer

(a) 22.4 L

Explanation:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

From this equation, you can see that 1 mole of calcium carbonate produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas. At STP, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. Therefore, 1 mole of CO2 gas produced from 1 mole of calcium carbonate at STP will occupy 22.4 liters.

So, the correct answer is 22.4 liters.
