Solution

The correct option is B 0.1 N
The balanced reaction is as follows:

CaCO3+2HClCO2+CaCl2

224 mL of CO2 is 0.01 moles at STP.

Hence, number of moles of CaCO3 is 0.01.

Hence, 0.02 moles of HCl is needed for complete reaction.

Volume of HCl solution used is 200 mL.

For a monobasic acid, molarity = normality

Hence, Normality=molesvolume=0.020.2N

Normality=0.1N

Hence, the correct option is B
