For this solution, since the reaction is not at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), you will need to use the Ideal Gas Law to solve for moles of #CO_2# and then Stoichiometry to solve for the grams of #CaCO_3#.

To begin with we find the knowns and unknowns for the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT.

P = 1.00 atm
V = 3.45 L
n = ??
R = 0.0821 #(atm L)/(mol K)#
T = 298 K

PV = nRT can be rearranged #n = (PV)/(RT)#

#n = ((1.00 atm)(3.45 L))/((.0821 (atmL)/(molK))(298K))#

n = 0.14 moles #CO_2#

Now you can use the balanced chemical equation and stoichiometry to solve for the grams of #CaCO_3#

moles #-># moles #-># grams

#0.14 mol CO_2 x (1 mol CaCO_3)/(1 mol CO_2) x (100.0869 g CaCO_3)/(1 mol CaCO_3) = 14.01 g CaCO_3#

I hope this was helpful.
