of pure (molar mass ) is treated with of . The excess acid is back-titrated with . The volume of needed is

  1. A140 mL
  2. B80 mL
  3. C200 mL
  4. D120 mL

Answer: B

mol CaCO3 = 6.00e-3, consuming 2 x 6.00e-3 = 1.20e-02 mol HCl. HCl taken = 0.100 x 0.200 = 2.00e-02 mol. Excess = 8.00e-03 mol, needing 8.00e-03/0.100 = 80 mL of NaOH.
