Question

100 mL of 0.06 M Ca(NO3)2 is added to 50 mL of 0.06 M Na2C2O4. After the reaction is complete.

Options

A.0.003 moles of calcium oxalate will get precipitated.
B.0.003 M of excess Ca2+ will remain in excess.
C.Na2C2O4 is the limiting reagent.
D.Ca(NO3)2 is the excess reagent.

Solution

Ca(NO3)2 + Na2C2O4  → CaC2O4  ↓ + 2NaNO3
100 × 0.06    50 × 0.06
= 6 m mol    = 3 m mol    3 m mol = 0.003 mol
Na2C2O4 is the limiting reagent.
∴ 3 m mol Na2C2O4 ≡ 3 m mol Ca(NO3)2
≡3 m mol CaC2O4 ≡ 6 m mol NaNO3
m mol of Ca(NO3)2 left = 6 - 3 = 3 m mol = 0.003 mol
MCa2+(left) = = 0.02M
Hence, option (b) is wrong.
