Q.

The right option for the mass of CO2 produced by heating 20 g of 20% pure limestone is (Atomic mass of Ca = 40)                     

[CaCO31200KCaO+CO2]                                             [2023]
 

1 2.64 g  
2 1.32 g  
3 1.12 g  
4 1.76 g  

Ans.

(4)

        CaCO340+12+16×3=100g       1200K      CaO40+16=56g     +      CO244 g

100 g CaCO3 produced CO2 gas = 44 g

20 g CaCO3 will produce CO2 gas = 44100×20=8.8g

If sample is 100% pure, CO2 produced = 8.8 g

If sample is 20% pure, CO2 produced = 8.8100×20=1.76g
