Question

18.4gm of mixture of caco3 and mgco3 on heating gives 4gms of mgo3 , the volume of co2 is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100g/mol

Molar mass of MgCO3=84.3 g/mol

Let number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture is X & Y respectively .

So

100X+84.3 Y= 1.84.......................(1)

 

On heating the mixture...



CO2 goes off from the product but mixture of  CaO and MgO remains in the solid form.

Molar mass of CaO= 56g/mole

Molar mass of MgO= 40.3 g/mole

From the equation it is clear that number of moles of  MgO & CaO in product mixture is same as that of respective carbonates in the reactant mixture.

so

56X+40.3Y=0.96........................(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 we get.

 

Y=0.01

X=0.009

 

Thus mass of CaCO3 in mixture =100 X 0.0098 =0.98 g

Mass of  MgCO3 in mixture = 84.3 X 0.01= 0.86 g

 Mass % of CaCO3 in mixture=



Mass % of  MgCO3 in mixture =

100-53.26= 46.74%
