QNEET-2022-Ch-467: NEET 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2022-Ch-467 Solution: Which one of the following is not a calcination reaction?…
Which one of the following is not a calcination reaction?
Multiple Choice Options
- A CaCO 3 + 2HCl CaCl 2 + H 2 O + CO 2
- B ZnCO 3 ZnO + CO 2
- C Fe 2 O 3 . xH 2 O Fe 2 O 3 + xH 2 O
- D CaCO 3 . MgCO 3 CaO + MgO + 2CO 2
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Calcination involves heating when the volatile matter escapes leaving behind the metal oxide.
Fe 2 O 3 . xH 2 O(s) _ _ Fe 2 O 3 (s) + xH 2 O(g)
ZnCO 3 (s) _ ZnO(s) + CO 2 (g)
CaCO 3 . MgCO 3 (s) _ CaO(s) + MgO(s) + 2CO 2 (g)
CaCO 3 + 2HCl _ _ CaCl 2 + H 2 O + CO 2 Not calcination
It is a neutralization reaction.
