Question

A 0.518 g sample of limestone is dissolved in HCl and then the calcium is precipitated as CaC2O4. After filtering and washing the precipitate, it requires 40 mL of 0.25 N KMnO4 solution acidified with H2SO4 to titrated it as,
MnO4+H++C2O42CO2+Mn2++2H2O
The percentage of CaO in the sample is:

Solution

The correct option is A 54%
Number of milliequivalents of CaC2O,KMnO4 and CaO will be same.
40×0.25=W56/2×1000
W=0.28 g (Mass of CaO)
% CaO=0.280.5218×100=54%.
