MCQ
$1\,g$ of a carbonate $\left( M _2 CO _3\right)$ on treatment with excess $HCl$ produces $0.01 mol$ of $CO _2$ The molar mass of $M _2 CO _3$ is $..........\,g\,mol ^{-1}$. (Nearest integer)
  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $300$
  • C
    $50$
  • $100$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$100$
d
$\underset{1\,gm }{ M _2 CO _3}+\underset{\text { Excess }}{2 HCl } \rightarrow \underset{0.02 \text { mole }}{2 MCl }+ H _2 O +\underset{0.01 \text { mole }}{ CO _2}$

From principle of atomic conservation of carbon atom,

Mole of $M _2 CO _3 \times 1=$ Mole of $CO _2 \times 1$

$\frac{1 gm }{\text { molar mass of } M _2 CO _3}=0.01 \times 1$

$\text { Molar mass of } M _2 CO _3=100\,gm / mole$
