Detailed Solution

Weight of MgCO3 and CaCO3 mixture = 18.4g

Weight of MgO obtained on heating = 4g

large mathop {mathop {MgC{O_3}(s)}limits_{84g}^{1mole} }limits_{'X'g} xrightarrow{Delta }mathop {mathop {MgO(s)}limits_{40g}^{1mole} }limits_{4g} + C{O_2}(g)

large X = frac{4}{40} times 84 = 8.4g

Weight of MgCO3 in the mixture = 8.4g

Weight of CaCO3 in the mixture = (18.4 - 8.4)g = 10g

I large mathop {MgC{O_3}(s)}limits_{8.4g}^{84g} xrightarrow{}MgO(s) + mathop {C{O_2}(g)}limits_{'{X_1}'l}^{22.4l}

large X_1 = frac{8.4}{84} times 22.4 = 2.24l

II large mathop {CaC{O_3}(s)}limits_{10g}^{100g} xrightarrow{{}}CaO(s) + mathop {C{O_2}(g)}limits_{'{X_2}'l}^{22.4l}

large X_2 = frac{100}{10} times 22.4 = 2.24l

Total volume of CO2 liberated at STP = 2.24 + 2.24

= 4 . 48 L
