Calculate the mass % of CaCO3 in the 103 g mixture containing CaCO3 & Na2CO3, which produces 24 L of CO2 at 1 atm & 300 K with excess of HCl.
[Given : R = 0.08 atm. L/mol-K]

(CaCO3 + Na2CO3) mixture = 103 g
Let moles CaCO3 = x
moles of Na2CO3 = y
x y 1
CaCO3 + Na2CO3 + HCl → CO2 and other products.
CO2 produced have C atoms from Na2CO3 & CaCO3
moles of CO2 produce = PV = nRT
1 × 24.63 = n × 0.0821 × 300
n =1
Apply POAc on C
1 × x + y × 1 = 1
x + y = 1
100 x + 106 y = 103
6x = 3 ; x = 0.5 ; y = 0.5
weight of CaCO3 = 50 g
weight of Na2CO3 = 53
% CaCO3 = = 48.54 %
