Question
1 gram of a carbonate (M2CO3) on treatment with excess HCl produces 0.01186 mole of CO2. The molar mass of M2CO3 in g mol–1 is:
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
A84.3
Step-by-step explanation
M2CO3 + 2HCl 2MCl + CO2 + H2O
Here weight of M2CO3 = 1 gm
Let molar mass of M2CO3 = M
No of moles of M2CO3 =
For this reaction,
= = 84.3 g mol-1
NOTE :
For any reaction this will be always valid.
For this reaction, 2KClO3 2KCl + 3O2
We can write,
This means
