Question
1 gram of a carbonate $$\left( {{M_2}C{O_3}} \right)$$ on treatment with excess $$HCl$$ produces 0.01186 mole of $$C{O_2}.$$ The molar mass of $${{M_2}C{O_3}}$$ in $$g\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ is:
A.
1186
B.
84.3
C.
118.6
D.
11.86
Answer :
84.3
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Given chemical}}\,e{q^n} \cr
& {M_2}C{O_3} + 2HCl \to 2MCl + {H_2}O + C{O_2} \cr
& 1gm\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0.01186\,mol \cr
& {\text{From the above chemical}}\,e{q^n}. \cr
& n{M_2}C{O_3} = nC{O_2} \cr
& \frac{1}{{{\text{Molar mass of}}\,\,{M_2}C{O_3}}} = 0.01186 \cr
& \therefore \,\,{\text{Molar}}\,{\text{mass}}\,{\text{of}}\,{M_2}C{O_3} = \frac{1}{{0.01186}} \cr
& M = 84.3\,gm/mol \cr} $$
