Detailed Solution

Given, Wight of used KOH=28g

Weight of impure CaCO3 = 60g

CaCO32KOHΔCO2

 According to the given reaction 2 moles of KOH is used to neutralise 1 mole of CaCO3

Molar mass of NaOH = 56g

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100g

112g of NaOH neutralise = 100g of CaCO3

28g of NaOH neutralise = 28 112×100= 25g of CaCO3

Pure CaCO3 in 60g of impure CaCO3 = 25g

Pure CaCO3 in 100g of CaCO3 = 25×10060 = 41.6g 

Therefore, option A is correct.
