Next >

A 0.500 g sample containing a mixture of MgCO₃ and CaCO₃ is heated to complete decomposition according to the reaction: MCO3(s)→MO(s)+CO2(g)\mathrm{MCO}_3(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{MO}(s) + \mathrm{CO}_2(g). The decomposition produces 0.224 g of CO₂. What is the mass percentage of MgCO₃ in the original mixture?

A

10.0%

B

38.2%

C

44.8%

D

21.5%
