Solution
The correct options are B100gof25%pureCaCO3 D84gof50%pureNaHCO3 Molecular weight of CO2 is 44 g. Therefore 11 g corresponds to 0.25 moles.
1 mole of 50% CaCO3 is 100g which produces 0.5 moles of carbon dioxide gas i.e. 22g of CO2
1 mole of 25% CaCO3 is 100g which produces 0.25 moles of carbon dioxide gas i.e. 11g of CO2
1 mole of NaHCO3 corresponds to 84 g, which produces 0.5 mole or 22 g of CO2 gas. But same amount of 50% purity produces 0.25 mole or 11 g CO2. 2NaHCO3→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2 Therefore, option B and D are correct
