10 grams of limestone on calcination liberates 1.68 lit of ${CO}_{2}$ at STP. Percentage purity of limestone is

${CaCO}_{3} (S) \overset{}{\to} CaO (s) + {CO}_{2} (g)$
100 g 22.4 lit
10 g 2.24 lit
10 grams of 100% pure limestone liberates 2.24 lit ${CO}_{2}$ of at STP
10 grams of “X%” pure limestone liberates 1.68 lit of ${CO}_{2}$ at STP
Percentage purity (X) = $\frac{1 .68}{2 .24} \times 100$
= 75 %
