A sample of and weighed 2.21 g is ignited to constant weight of 1.152 g . The composition of mixture is :
(Given molar mass in
)
(Given molar mass in
)
- (A)✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (A)
Solution
On strong heating, and .
Let the mass of be g, so the mass of is g.
Moles of decomposed , giving mass of CaO formed g.
Moles of decomposed , giving mass of MgO formed g.
Total residue mass equals 1.152 g:
g
Mass of g.
The mixture is 1.187 g and 1.023 g .
