A 5.00 g sample of a mixture containing CaCO₃ and Na₂CO₃ is heated so that both carbonates decompose: CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂ and Na₂CO₃ → Na₂O + CO₂. The total volume of CO₂ collected over water at 25 °C and 760 mmHg is 1.68 L. Assuming the overall decomposition yield is 85 % (the same for both carbonates), calculate the mass of CaO obtained (to three significant figures).
