Solution
The correct option is B 0.001 moles of Ca2+ will remain in excess. Moles of Ca(NO3)2=0.006 mole Moles of Na2C2O4=0.003 mole Ca(NO3)2+Na2C2O4→Ca(C2O4)↓+2NaNO3 Limiting reagent will be Na2C2O4 as the number of moles of Na2C2O4 are lesser than required to completely react with Ca(NO3)2. 1 mole of Na2C2O4 produces 1 mole of of Ca(C2O4) Hence, 0.003 moles of Na2C2O4 will produce 0.003 moles of Ca(C2O4) Ca(NO3)2 left = 0.006 - 0.003 = 0.003 mole
