When 20 g of CaCO 3 is treated with 20 g HCl , the mass of CO 2 formed would be
Options
- A10   g
- B8 . 8   g
- C22 . 2   g
- D20   g
Correct answer
B. 8 . 8   g
Step-by-step solution
So according to the question when the reaction takes place CaCO 3 + 2 HCl → CaCl 2 + H 2 O + CO 2 1 mol 2   mol 1   mol 100   g 73   g 44   g Let CaCO 3 be completely consumed in the reaction So that 100   g of CaCO 3 give 44   g of CO 2 Thus, 20   g of CaCO 3 give 44 100   ×   20   g   =   8 . 8   g   CO 2
