1 g of a carbonate (M2CO3) on treatment with excess HCl produces 0.01 mol of CO2. The molar mass of M2CO3 is ______ g mol-1. (Nearest integer) [2023]
(100)
M2CO3+HCl→2 MCl+H2O + CO2
1g 0.02mole 0.01mole
From principle of atomic conservation of carbon atom:
Mole of M2CO3×1=Mole of CO2×1
1(MM)×1=(0.01)×1
Molar mass of M2CO3=100 g/mol
