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.

Solution

The correct option is A 14.09%
Let the mass of BaCO3, CaCO3 and CaO be a, b and c respectively.
a+b+c=1.249 ...(i)
Meq. of BaCO3 + Meq. of CaCO3= Meq. of CO2
a(1972)×1000+b(1002)×1000=168×4422400×22×1000
200a+394b=295.5 ...(ii)
Also, for the redox changes,
BaCO3BaCrO4
3e+Cr6+Cr3+
2II2+2e
Meq. of BaCO3= Meq. of BaCrO4= Meq. of I2
a(1973)×=20×0.005×10010
a=0.656 g ...(iii)
(Note : Equivalent mass of BaCrO4 is M3 and thus, for BaCO3 it should be M3)
By Eqs. (ii) and (iii), b=0.417 g
from Eq. (i), 0.656+0.417+c=1.249
c=0.176
Percentage of CaO=0.176×1001.249=14.09%
