Question

What mass of CaCO3 is required to react completely with 25ml of 0.75M of HCL.

Open in App
Solution

First calculate the mass of HCl that is present in 25 mL of 0.75 M HCl solution. Molarity of a solution is given by the following relation

Molarity = number of moles of solute / Volume of solution (in litres)

0.75 = n / 0.025

This gives n = 0.01875

Now, number of moles is given by the following realtion

number of moles = mass of substance / molar mass of substance

So, the mass of HCl will be

0.01875 = mass of HCl / 36.5

mass of HCl = 0.684g

Now, a balanced chemical equation showing the reaction of HCl and CaCO3is as follows

CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

According to the above equation, 100g of CaCO3 is required to react completely with 71g of HCl. That is

73g of HCl → 100g of CaCO3

1g of HCl → (100 / 73) g of CaCO3

So, 0.684g would require = (100 / 73) X 0.684 g of CaCO3

= 0.937g of CaCO3

Thus 0.937g of CaCO3 would be required to completely react with 25ml of 0.75M HCl.
