Calcium carbonate decomposes on heating to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. How much volume of `CO_2` will be obtained by thermal decomposition of 50g `CaCO_3` ?

Options

A. 1L
B. 11.2 L
C. 44 L
D. 22.4 L

Explanation

To solve the problem of how much volume of CO₂ will be obtained from the thermal decomposition of 50g of CaCO₃, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the decomposition reaction
The decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) can be represented by the following balanced chemical equation:
\[ \text{CaCO}_3 (s) \rightarrow \text{CaO} (s) + \text{CO}_2 (g) \]

### Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of CaCO₃
To find the number of moles of CaCO₃, we first need to calculate its molar mass:
