0.600g of pure CaCOX3 (molar mass 100gmol−1) is treated with 100mL of 0.200MHCl. The excess acid is back-titrated with 0.100MNaOH. The volume of NaOH needed is
A140 mL
B80 mL
C200 mL
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.
