Solution

The correct option is A $C a C O_{3}$
Balanced reaction is:

$C a C O_{3} + 2 H C l \to C a C l_{2} + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$

Molar mass of $C a C O_{3}$ $= 100$ g

Molar mass of $H C l$ $= 36.5$ g

From the reaction, 100 g $C a C O_{3}$ reacts with 73 g $H C l$

Thus 40 g $C a C O_{3}$ will reacts with $= \frac{73}{100} \times 40 = 29.2$ g $H C l$

Given $H C l = 40$ g, therefore $C a C O_{3}$ is completely consumed.

The limiting reagent, $H C l$ is in excess by $40 - 29.2 = 10.8 g$
