When limestone (which is principally CACO3) is heated, carbon dioxide and quick- lime (CaO) are produced by the reaction CACO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) . If 16.4 g of CO2 was produced from the ther- mal decomposition of 37.73 g of CaCO3, what is the percentage yield of the reaction? Answer in units of %.
