0.0075 mole of calcium trioxocarbonate (IV) is added to 0.015 mole of a solution of hydrochloric acid. The volume of gas evolved at s.t.p is?
[Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3]
224cm3
168cm3
112cm3
100cm3

see you know the question said the volume of gas evolved. if caco3 react with HCl you will get co2 h2o and cacl. but caco3 needs two moles of hcl. if you balance the equation u notice that since one mole of caco3 reacted with 2 moles of HCl to give one mole of co2 gas. then
since 1 mole=22.4dm3
0.0075 mole= ?
cross multiply 0.0075 mole*22.4dm3/1
equal to 168

CaCO3 + 2HCl---->CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
as u can see the gas CO2 which elvoled was gotten from CaCO3 so we use the number of moles of CaCO3 only
1mole of gas at STP = 22.4dm3
1mole of CaCO3 i.e 0.0075=x
Cross multiply
x=0.0075 x 22.4
x=168
