The volume of CO, obtained at N.T.P by heating 200 g of 75% pure CaCO3 is

(A) 88mL (B) 66mL (C) 33.6mL (D) 33.6L

Dear Student,
We have to find the volume of CO2 obtained at N.T.P by heating 200g 75% pure CaCO3.
The reaction is
CaCO3  CaO + CO2 Amount of pure CaCO3= 75% of 200g=75100×200=150g150g CaCO3=150g100gmol-1=1.5molAccording to the balanced equation,1 mol CaCO3 gives 1 mol CO21.5 mol CaCO3 gives 1.5 mol CO2 =1.5mol x 22.4 lmol-1=33.6L[1 mol gas at N.T.P = 22.4L]Option D is correctRegards
