Question
CBSEENCH12010768

1 gram of a carbonate (M2CO3) on treatment with excess HCl produces 0.01186 mole of CO2. The molar mass of M2CO3 in g mol-1 is

  • 1186

  • 84.3

  • 118.6

  • 11.86

Solution

B.

84.3

Given chemical equation
M2CO3 +2HCl → 2MCl + H2O + CO2
1 gm                           0.01186 mol
From the balanced chemical equation
1/M = 0.01186
M = 84.3 gm/mol
