Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 50

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{lc} \mathrm{CaCO}_3(s) \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CaO}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \\ 40+12+48 & 40+16 \\ =100 & =56 \end{array}\) \(\therefore \quad 56 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CaO}\) is obtained from \(=100 \mathrm{~g} \cdot \mathrm{CaCO}_3\)…
