Calcium carbonate decomposes when heated according to the equation: \[ \text{CaCO}_3(s) \rightarrow \text{CaO}(s) + \text{CO}_2(g) \] Calculate the percentage yield if 14.0 g of CaO is produced when 0.300 mol of CaCO₃ is heated.
A student performs the combustion of magnesium ribbon in air according to the equation: \[ 2\text{Mg}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{MgO}(s) \] The student begins with \(1.20\) g of magnesium and collects \(1.75\) g of magnesium oxide. Analyse the data to determine: (a) the theoretical yield of magnesium oxide, in grams. (1 mark) (b) the percentage yield. (1 mark)
