| Compose a reaction equation
CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Calculate the amount of gas substance (CO2) 5.6 L / 22.4 L / mol = 0.25 mol
Find the amount of calcium carbonate = 0.25 mol (equal to the amount of gas substance)
Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) m = M * n (amount of substance) m = 0.25 mol * 100g / mol = 25 g
