KCET2011ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
A mixture of CaCl ₂ and NaCl weighing 4.44 ~g is treated with sodium carbonate solution to precipitate all the calcium ions as calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate so obtained is heated strongly to get 0.56 ~g of CaO . The percentage of NaCl in the mixture is (atomic mass of Ca =40 )
Options
- A75
- B31.5
- C40.2
- D25
Correct answer
A. 75
Step-by-step solution
Amount of NaCl =4.44-1.12=3.32 % of NaCl = 3.32 4.44 100=75
