11.4L

Step-by-step explanation:

The given reaction is,


CaCO_(3)->CaO+CO_(2)

let
n be the number of moles of
CaCO_(3)

For one mole of
CaCO_(3),one mole of
CO_(2) is formed.


\text{number of moles}=\frac{\text{given weight}}{\text{molar weight}}


\text{molar weight} of
CaCO_(3)=100g

Given that
given weight=14g


n=(14)/(100)

So,number of moles of
CO_(2)=n=0.14

using
PV=nRT with
P=\text{1 atm,}T=\text{1000K,}R={\text{0.0821 L atm }mol^(-1)K^(-1)


v=(nRT)/(P)=0.14* 0.0821* 1000* (1)/(1) =11.4L
