Q.

10g of a mixture of CaCO3 and Na2CO3 on ignition suffered a loss in weight of 2.2g. The mass ratio of CaCO3 and Na2CO3 is

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

 Na2 CO3 is thermally stable and does not decompose on ignition but CaCO3 decompse to give CO2.
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
1mole i.e 100gm of CaCO3 gives 44 gm of CO2.
Wt.of CaCO3 giving 2.2 gm of CO2 =( 2.2X100/44)=5gm
Wt.of CaCO3 =5gm, Wt.of Na2 CO3 =10-5=5gm, There foe ratio of wts=1:1
