Now, moles of CaCO3 =
According to the reaction given,
âµ 1 mol of CaCO3 requires 2 mol of HCl
∴ 10 mol of CaCO3 requires moles of HCl=
But the available moles of HCl = 0.19 mol
Therefore, HCl is behaving as a limiting reagent. Thus, the amount of CaCl2 formed will be calculated by the moles of HCl available.
âµ 2 mol of HCl gives CaCl2 = 1 mol
∴ 0.19 mol of HCl gives CaCl2 =
∴ mass of CaCl2 =

Question 44:
Define the law of multiple proportions. Explain it with two examples. How does this law point to the existance of atoms?
Answer:
The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of carbon in CO2 and CO are 32 and 16 respectively. These masses of oxygen bear a simple ratio of 32:16 or 2:1 to each other For example, sulphur combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely, sulphur trioxide and sulphur dioxide.
The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of sulphur in SO3 and SO, are 48 and 32 respectively. These masses of oxygen bear a simple ratio of 48:32 or 3:2 to each other. This law shows that there are constituents which combine in a definite proportion. These constituents may be atoms. Thus, the law of multiple proportions shows the existence of atoms which combine to form molecules

Question 45:
A box contains some identical red coloured balls, labelled as A, each weighing 2 grams. Another box contains identical blue coloured balls, labelled as B, each weighing 5 grams. Consider the combinations AB, AB2, A2B and A2B3 and show that law of multiple proportions is applicable.
Answer:
According to the law of multiple proportions, when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, then the different masses of one element, which combine with a fixed mass of the other, bear a simple ratio to one another.
For the combination, AB
1g of A combines with g of B = 2.5 g B
For AB2
1g of A combines with g of B = 5 g of B
For A2B
1g of A combines with g of B = 1.25 g of B
For A2B3
1g of A combines with g of B = 3.75 g of B
Thus, it is proved that the law of multiple proportions is applicable.
