Question

if 20 gms of CaCO3 is treated with 20 gms of hcl, how many grams of CO2 can be generated according to given equation: CaCO3 (s) +2HCl (aq) - CaCl2 (aq) +H2O (l) +CO2(g)

Solution

Molecular mass of CaCO3 = 100 g
Molecular mass of HCl = 36.5 g
100 g of CaCO3 reacts with 73 g (36.5 x 2) of HCl to give 44 gram of CO2 according to given equation.
20 gram of CaCO3 will react with 73/100 *20 g HCl = 14.6 g. HCl only to give CO2. So the limiting reagent is CaCO3.
Since 100 g CaCO3 give 44 g CO2
therefore 20 g of CaCO3 will give = 44/100 *20 = 8.8 g CO2.
