Solution

The correct option is D 44 g
The molecular weights of CaCO3 and CO2 are 100 g/mol and 44 g/mol respectively.
The balanced chemical equation is
CaCO3+2HClCaCl2+H2O+CO2
Thus 1 mole (100 g) of CaCO3 produces 1 mole (44 g) of CO2.
Hence 44 grams of CO2 are produced by the complete reaction of 100 g CaCO3 with excess HCl.
