Question
1.249 g of a sample of pure BaCO3 and impure CaCO3 containing some CaO was treated with dilute HCl and it evolved 168 mL of CO2 at NTP. From this solution, BaCrO4 was precipitated, filtered and washed. The dried precipitate was dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid and diluted to 100 mL. 10 mL of this solution when treated with KI solution liberated iodine, which required exactly 20 mL of 0.05 N Na2S2O3. Calculate the percentage of CaO in the sample.
