Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.
Which mass of solid residue can be obtained from the thermal decomposition of 4.10 g of
anhydrous calcium nitrate?
A 0.70 g B 1.00 g C 1.40 g D 2.25 g
please answer my question..its almost time for the exam..
The answer is C.
It will 1 mole of Calcium nitrate will produce one moles of oxide.
Moles in 4.10 g = 4.10/{40+2[14+(16x3)]}
This will be moles of the oxide. Use moles = mass/Mr to find mass of oxide(as it is the only solid residue) formed.
