Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 63

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CaCO}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \\ & \text { mass of } \mathrm{CaCO}_3=\frac{150 \times 75}{100}=112.5 \mathrm{~kg} \\ & =112500 \mathrm{~g} \\ & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CaCO}_3}=1125 \\ & \mathrm{So} \text { moles of } \mathrm{CaO}=1125 \\ &…
