Problem

Solid calcium carbonate decomposes upon heating according to CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)\mathrm{CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)}. If 15.0 g\mathrm{15.0\,g} of CaCO3\mathrm{CaCO_3} is heated and 5.60 g\mathrm{5.60\,g} of CO2\mathrm{CO_2} is collected, calculate the percent yield of CO2\mathrm{CO_2}.
