Use the equation:
CaCO3 ---> CaO + CO2
Total of 1200 x 10^6 x 10^3 kg of CaCO3 are roasted
So No. of moles = (1200 x 10^6 x 10^3) / (40 + 12 + 48) = 1.2 x 10^10 mol.
CaO : CO2
= 1 : 1
So No. of moles of CO2 produced = 1.2 x 10^10 mol
Therefore mass of CO2 produced = (1.2 x 10^10) x (12 + 32) = 5.28 x 10^11 kg = 528 million tonnes.
SO THE ANSWER IS B.
