Answer: The number of moles of calcium carbonate is 0.637 moles
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]
We are given:
Given mass of calcium carbonate = 63.8 g
Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.09 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Number of moles of calcium carbonate}=\frac{63.8g}{100.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Number of moles of calcium carbonate}=0.637mol[/tex]
Hence, the number of moles of calcium carbonate is 0.637 moles
