Question
How many moles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are present in 10 g of the substance ? (Ca = 40 u ; C = 12 u ; O = 16 u)

Solution
Mass of calcium carbonate = 10g
Molecular mass of calcium carbonate = (1 × 40) + (1 × 12) + (3 × 16) = 100g
Number of moles in 100g of calcium carbonate = 1 mole
Therefore, number of moles in 10g of calcium carbonate is 0.1.
