A mixture of \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) weighing \(4.44 \mathrm{~g}\) is treated with sodium carbonate solution to precipitate all the calcium ions as calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate so obtained is heated strongly to get \(0.56 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CaO}\). The percentage of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) in the mixture is (atomic mass of \(\mathrm{Ca}=40\) )

  1. A 75
  2. B \(31.5\)
  3. C \(40.2\)
  4. D 25
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 75

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation




\(\therefore\) Amount of \(\mathrm{NaCl}=4.44-1.12=3.32\)
\(\%\) of \(\mathrm{NaCl}=\frac{3.32}{4.44} \times 100=75\)
