Q45 / 54 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Redox Reactions

How many millilitres of 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 are needed to dissolve 0.5 g of copper(II)carbonate?
Report your answer by rounding it up to nearest integer.

Correct answer: 8

Solution

The balanced chemical reaction is: 
CuCO3 + H2SO4  →  CuS04 + H2O + CO2
milli mol of CuCO3 =0.5×1000123.5
= 4.048 mM
milli mol of H2SO4 required = 4.048 mM
= Molarity x Volume (in mL)
Volume = 4.0480.50= 8.1 mL

Hence, the correct answer is 8.
