Solution
The correct option is A0.74 g 106 g water contain 100 g CaCO3. 10 L or 104 g water contain100106×104=1 g of CaCO3 100 g CaCO3=162 g of Ca(HCO3)2 or 1 g CaCO3=1.62 g of Ca(HCO3)2 or 1 g CaCO3=0.01 mol Ca(HCO3)2+Ca(OH)2→2CaCO3↓+2H2O Moles of Ca(OH)2 required=0.01 Weight of Ca(OH)2 required=0.74 g
