\(28 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{KOH}\) is required to completely neutralise \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) produced on heating \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) of impure \(\mathrm{CaCO}_3\). The percentage purity of \(\mathrm{CaCO}_3\) is approximately (molar masses of \(\mathrm{KOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CaCO}_3\) are 56 and \(100 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\), respectively)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 41.6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given relation \(\mathrm{CaCO}_3 \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\stackrel{2 \mathrm{KOH}}{\Delta}} \mathrm{CO}_2\) means, 2 moles of \(\mathrm{KOH}\) will neutralise 1 mole of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\). Given, (i) \(\mathrm{KOH}\) (used) \(=28 \mathrm{~g}\) (ii) Molar mass of…
