Detailed Solution

The reaction is CaCO3+2HClCaCl2+CO2+H2O

The amount of HCl in 50mL(=0.050L) of 0.75 M solution is

n=MV=(0.75molL=(0.050L)=0.0375mol 

From the chemical equation, we find that the amount of CaCO3 will be 0.0375mol/2=0.01875mol

Mass CaCO3 required will be m=nM=(0.01875mol)100gmol1=1.875g.
