Solution
The correct option is C60
Number of moles of CaCO3 present initially=50100=0.5moles
Kp of the given reaction can be written as:
Kp=PCO2=1.64atm
Number of moles of CO2=PCO2VRT=1.64×100.082×1000=0.2
Number of moles of CaCO3 reacted=0.2moles
Number of moles of CaCO3 unreacted=(0.5−0.2)=0.3moles
