Question

0.56 g of limestone was treated with oxalic acid to give CaC2O4. The precipitate decolorised 45 mL of 0.2 N KMnO4 in acid solution. Calculate the % of CaO in limestone.

Open in App
Solution

45 mL of 0.2 N KMnO4=45 mL of 0.2 N CaC2O4
=45 mL of 0.2 N CaCO3
=45 mL of 0.2 N CaO
Mass of CaO=N×E×V1000=0.2×28×451000=0.252 g
% of CaO in limestone =0.2520.56×100=45.
