Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

a) CaCO3(s)====>CaO(s) + CO2(g)

248.5 g CaCO3 x 44.00 g CO2/100.1 g CaCO3=109.2 g CO2 

b)(94.0 g/109.2 g) x 100%=86.2385%

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
