Problem

Solid calcium carbonate decomposes on heating according to CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)\mathrm{CaCO_3(s)\to CaO(s)+CO_2(g)} with ΔHrxn=+178 kJ mol−1\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}=+178\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mol}^{-1}. Determine the heat absorbed when 250.0 g250.0\,\text{g} of CaCO3\mathrm{CaCO_3} is completely decomposed.
