Solution

The correct option is B 0.003
Given,
Ca(OH)2+CO2CaCO3+H2O percentage yield=30

Number of moles of Ca(OH)2
=Normality×1nf×V(L)
=110×12×2001000=0.01 mol
Number of moles of CO2
=MassMolar mass=2.244=0.05 mol
Comparing the ratios of number of moles to the coefficient of each reactant and finding the smallest ratio will give us the limiting reagent.
nCa(OH)21=0.01
nCO21=0.05
Ca(OH)2 is the limiting reagent. So, the theoretical number of moles of CaCO3 produced:
nCa(OH)21=nCaCO31
nCaCO3=0.01 mol
We know that:
percentage yield=Actual yieldtheoretical yield×100

Actual number of mole of CaCO3
30100×0.01=0.003 mol
