Q21 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

1 g of a carbonate M2CO3 on treatment with excess HCl produces 0.01 mol of CO2. The molar mass of M2CO3 is gmol-1. (Nearest integer)

Correct answer: 100

Solution

From Balanced chemical reaction,

M2CO3+2HCl→2MCl+H2O+CO2

Here from this, we get:

0.01 mol CO2≡0.01 mol M2CO3≡1 g M2CO3

 We know that,

Number of moles = Given massMolar mass

⇒Molar mass of M2CO3=Given mass of M2CO3Number of Moles of M2CO3=10.01=100 g/mol

Hence, the correct answer is 100.
