| Compose a reaction equation
CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Calculate the amount of gas substance (CO2) = 2.8 / 22.4 = 0.125
Calculate the amount of substance of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) = 0.125 mol (equal to the amount of gas substance)
Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate m = 100 * 0.125 = 12.
