5g of an impure sample of CaCo3 reacted with 400cm^3 of 0.2N HCl . The percentage purity of the sample is?

Dear Student,

The computation is expressed below,

CaCO3 + 2HCl CaCl2 + CO2+H2Omolar mass of CaCl2=110.983 gmolmolar mass of HCl = 36.461we have 0.2 N HCl which gives,N=wt in gmeq.wt×V0.2=wt.in gm36.461×0.4wt. in gm = 2.92 g 110.983 g of CaCl2 from 36.461 g ofHCltherefore, 2×36.461110.983×2.92=1.92g of pure sample% purity = 1.925×100%=38.4%
Regards.
