QUESTION:
Dissolving 3.00 g of an impure sample of calcium carbonate in hydrochloric acid produced 0.656 L of carbon dioxide (measured at 20.0C and 792 mmHg). Calculate the percent by mass of calcium carbonate in the sample. State any assumptions.
ANSWER:Step1 of 4
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of Calcium carbonate with HCl to produce Carbon dioxide is:
The molar ratio of Calcium carbonate and Carbon dioxide is equal, i.e., 1:1 is indicated by the balanced chemical equation.
