Temporary har...

Question

Temporary hardness is due to $H C O_{3}^{-}$ of $M g^{2 +}$ and $C a^{2 +}$ . It is removed by addition of $C a O$ .
$C a (H C O_{3})_{2} + C a O \to 2 C a C O_{3} + H_{2} O$
Mass of $C a O$ (in g) required to produce $2$ g of $C a C O_{3}$ precipitate is:

Solution

The correct option is A $0.56$
Molecular weight of $C a C O_{3}$ and $C a O$ are $100$ g/mol and $56$ g/mol respectively.
$2$ equivalents of $C a C O_{3}$ requires $1$ equivalents of $C a O$ .
Amount of $C a O$ required to produce $2$ g of $C a C O_{3}$ $= \frac{2 \times 56}{2 \times 100} = 0.56$
