=96.2gCaCO_3

Explanation:

  1. Write the skeleton and balance the given equation
    Ca(OH)_2(s)+CO_2(g)>CaCO_3(s)+H_2O(g)
  2. Find the molar mass of CaCO_3 as the involved compound as specified in the problem.
    =(100g)/(mol)
  3. Since the given data is already expressed in mol, conversion per convention is no longer necessary in this case.
  4. Referring to the balanced equation shown above for the mole ratio, find the etaCaCO_3 through molar conversion; i.e.,
    =0.962cancel(molCa(OH))_2xx(1molCaCO_3)/(1cancel(molCa(OH)_2))
    =0.962molCaCO_3
  5. Now, find the "mass"(m) of CaCO_3, knowing the etaCaCO_3 as computed, and the molar mass of the compound for the conversion.
    =0.962cancel(molCaCO_3)xx(100gCaCO_3)/(1cancel(molCaCO_3))
    =96.2gCaCO_3
