25g of 80% pure CaCO3 is made to react with excess of HCl. Calculate volume of CO2 evolved at NTP.
4.48 L
From the question, it is a volume-volume problem.
The balanced reaction ⇒CaCO3+2HCl →CaCl2+CO2+H2O
25 g of 80 % pure CaCO3⇒×25X80100 =20g of CaCO3
∴ From reaction, 1 mole of CaCO3 gives 1 mole of CO2
At NTP, 1 mole of CaCO3 = 22.4 L of CO2
100g of CaCO3 = 22.4 L of CO2
20g of CaCO3=( 22.4 X20)/100 = 4.48 L
