Interpretation : The percentage of calcium carbonate in the limestone is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction : The coefficients of a balanced chemical equation that are transformed into moles are used to calculate the mole ratio, which is a conversion factor.
When converting between a certain number of moles of one reactant or product and moles of another reactant or product, mole ratios are utilized.
The formula to calculate the number of moles is given as
The formula to calculate the percentage yield is given as
