Chapter 20, Problem 20.40QP

Calcium oxide or quicklime (CaO) is used in steelmaking, cement manufacture, and pollution control. It is prepared by the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate:

CaCO 3 ( s ) → CaO( s ) + CO 2 ( g )

Calculate the yearly release of CO₂ (in kilograms) to the atmosphere if the annual production of CaO in the United States is 1.7 × 10¹⁰ kg.
