From 8,000 pounds of the limestone detailed above;

4,236.654 pounds of CaO (0.529582 lbsCaO/lbs LS),

159.087 pounds of MgO (0.01989 lbs MgO/lbs LS),

3,498.659 pounds of CO2 would be created (0.437332 lbs CO2/lbs LS)

plus 105.6 pounds of insoluable material that may or may not change composition.

For this limestone, 0.8258 lbs of CO2 is created for every pound of CaO. Plus there is more CO2 created somewhere in order to generate the heat for this reaction.

The ratio of CO2 from CaCO3 is 43.97%, CO2 from MgCO3 is 52.2%.
