As we learnt in

Number of Moles -

No of moles = given mass of substance/ molar mass of substance

-

 

 Moles of CO2 emitted =\frac{44}{44}=1\ mole

So, moles of CaCO3 = 1

So, mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100

Percentage purity =\frac{100 \times 100}{50}=66.67\%

Number of Moles -

No of moles = given mass of substance/ molar mass of substance

-

 

 Moles of CO2 emitted =\frac{44}{44}=1\ mole

So, moles of CaCO3 = 1

So, mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100

Percentage purity = \frac{50}{100}*100\frac{50}{100}*100=50%\frac{50}{100}*100=50%

\frac{50}{100}*100=50% Correct answer- Option 4) 50%
