Calcium carbonate reacts with aqueous HCl togive CaCl2┬аand CO2┬аaccording to the reaction, CaCO3(s)┬а+2 HCl(aq)┬атЖТ CaCl2(aq)┬а+CO2(g) + H2O(l)

What mass of CaCO3┬аisrequired to react completely with 25 mL of 0.75 M HCl?



Answer -

0.75 M of HCl тЙб 0.75 mol of HCl are present in 1 L ofwater

тЙб [(0.75 mol) ├Ч (36.5 g molтАУ1)]HCl is present in 1 L of water

тЙб 27.375 g of HCl is present in 1 L of water

Thus, 1000 mL of solution contains 27.375 g of HCl.

Amount of HCl present in 25 mL of solution

= 0.6844 g

From the given chemical equation,

2 mol of HCl (2 ├Ч 36.5 = 73 g) react with 1mol of CaCO3┬а(100 g).

Amount of CaCO3┬аthat willreact with 0.6844 g =

10073├Ч0.6844= 0.9375 g
