A test tube along with calcium carbonate in it initially weighed 30.08 g. A heating experiment was performed on this test tube till calcium carbonate completely decomposed with evolution of a gas. Loss of weight during this experiment was 4.40 g. What is the weight of the empty test tube in this experiment?1. 20.08 g 2. 21.00 g 3. 24.50 g 4. 2.008 g |

Answer» Correct option: (1) 20.08 g Explanation: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 1 mole 1 mole 1 mole 100 g 56 g 44 g 4.4 g CO2 = 0.1 mole According to give data 4.4 g CO2 will produce along with 5.6 g of CaO due to decomposition of 10 gram of calcium carbonate CaCO3. Mass of CaCO3 along with test tube = 30.08 g Mass of CaCO3 taking in Reaction = 10 g So mass of empty test tube = 30.08 g - 10 g = 20.08 g. |
