$CaCO_3(s) + DeltaH rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr$

$"Moles of calcium carbonate"$ $=$ $(100*g)/(100.09*g*mol^-1)=1*mol.$

And thus for:

$CaCO_3(s) + DeltaH rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr;$ $DeltaH=178*kJ*mol^-1" of reaction as written"$

Given that it is endothermic reaction, we quote $DeltaH_"rxn"=+178*kJ*mol^-1$ .

I can think of one industry where the reaction is utilized on a monumental scale. Can you identify it?
