KCET2009ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Excess of carbon dioxide is passed through 50 mL of 0.5 M calcium hydroxide solution. After the completion of the reaction, the solution was evaporated to dryness. The solid calcium carbonate was completely neutralised with 0.1 ~N hydrochloric acid. The volume of hydrochloric acid required is (Atomic mass of calcium =40 )
