The volume of hydrochloric acid required is (At. mass of calcium=40)A. `200cm^(3)`B. `500cm^(3)`C. `400cm^(3)`D. `300cm^(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
According to the question, the reaction occurs as
`underset(74(=1mol))(Ca(OH)_(2))+underset(44(=1mol))(CO_(2))to underset(100(=1mol))(CaCO_(3))+underset(18(=1mol))(H_(2)O)`
Given, 50 ml of 0.5 M `Ca(OH)_(2)` reacts with excess of `CO_(2)`
`therefore` No. of millimoles of `Ca(OH)_(2)` reacts with excess of `CO_(2)`
`therefore` No. of millimoles of `Ca(HO)_(2)` reacted=25
`therefore` 1 mole of `Ca(OH)_(2)` gives 1 mole of `CaCO_(3)`,
`therefore`No. of millieq. `=("Weight in mg")/("eq. Wt")=(25xx100)/(50)=50`
`implies`No. of milliequivalents of `CaCO_(3)=50`
As, volume of `CaCO_(3)` solution=50 ml
So, normality of `CaCO_(3)` solution=1N (millieq.=`NxxV` in ml)
Normality of HCl=0.1N (given)
Volume of HCl=?
`N_(HCl)xxV_(HCl)=N_(CaCO_(3))xxV_(CaCO_(3))`
`implies0.1xxV_(HCl)=1xx50impliesV_(HCl)=(50)/(0.1)=500cm^(3)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Acid=0.1`xx100=10`
base`=0.2xx100=20`
`therefore` Solution will be basic. 0.1 N of HCl is neutralised by 0.1 N of NaOH and the remaining 0.1 N of NaOH is in 200 `cm^(3)` of solution.
`therefore` Resulting normality`=0.5`N, basic.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`V_(1)=20ml,N_(1)=0.25N,V_(2)=30ml,N_(2)=0.2N`
`thereforeN=(N_(1)V_(1)+N_(2)V_(2))/(V_(1)+V_(2))=(20(0.25)+30(0.2))/(20+30)`
`=(5+6)/(50)=(11)/(50)=0.2N` basic.
