The equation for the reaction of calcium carbonate with dilute nitric acid is given below. $\text{CaCO}_3(s) + 2\text{HNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow \text{Ca(NO}_3)_2(aq) + \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l)$. $25\,\text{g}$ of calcium carbonate is reacted with an excess of dilute nitric acid. What mass of calcium nitrate is formed, and what volume of carbon dioxide is released at room temperature and pressure?
- A$29\,\text{g}$; $6\,\text{dm}^3$
- B$29\,\text{g}$; $12\,\text{dm}^3$
- C$41\,\text{g}$; $6\,\text{dm}^3$
- D$41\,\text{g}$; $12\,\text{dm}^3$
