20.0 g of a magnesium carbonate sample decomposes on heating to give carbon dioxide and 8.0 g magnesium oxide. What be the percentage purity of magnsesium carbonate in the sample?A. 60B. 84C. 75D. 96 |
Answer» Correct Answer - B `MgCO_(3) overset(Delta)toMgO+CO_(2)` 40 g `MgO` obtained from 84g `MgCO_(3)` then 8 g obtained from `(84)/(40)xx8` =16.8g `MgCO_(3)` `therefore%`purity`=(16.8)/(20)xx100=84%` |
