500 g impure sample of CaCO 3 on heating gives 70 g of CaO . Percentage impurities in sample is
Options
- A25%
- B50%
- C75%
- D80%
Correct answer
C. 75%
Step-by-step solution
C a C O 3 → C a O + C O 2 Let the % purity is x Mol: 500 × X 100 × 100 mol 500 × X 100 × 100 × 56 = 70 X = 25 % Impurities = 100 - 25 = 75 %
