Ancient Romans built often out of bricks and mortar. A key ingredient in their mortar was quicklime (calcium oxide), which they produced by roasting limestone
(calcium carbonate).
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CACO) into solid calcium oxide and
gaseous carbon dioxide.
2. Suppose 43.0 L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a
temperature of 250.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of
calcium carbonate that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

The human body burns glucose (C6H₁₂O) for energy according to this chemical reaction:
12
C6H12O6 +60₂ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).
Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500. mL of air,
which is typically enriched to 4% CO₂ and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs
his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.8 kg of carbon dioxide.
Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 0.50 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.
You'll need to know that the density of CO₂ is 2.0 kg/m³.
A student decides to conduct an experiment by using two different flasks and two different gas samples. In flask 1, there exists Neon (Ne) gas, whereas the second flask is

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy?
