Question:

The Romans used calcium oxide, CaO, to produce a strong mortar to build stone structures. Calcium oxide was mixed with water to give Ca(OH)2, which reacted slowly with CO2 in the air to give CaCO3.Ca(OH) (s) + CO(g)  CaCO3(s) + HO(g)

(a) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction.

(b) How much energy is evolved or absorbed as heat if 1.00 kg of Ca(OH)2 reacts with a stoichiometric amount of CO2?
