The correct answer is: 200
Hints: Number of gram equivalents of \(\mathrm{HCl}\)
\(=\frac{100 \times 0.1}{1000}=0.01\)
Number of gram equivalents of metal carbonate required for neutralisation must also be 0.01 . Thus, mass of 1 gram eqivalent of carbonate salt \(\frac{2}{0.01}=200 \mathrm{~g}\)
\(\therefore\) Equivalent mass of carbonate salt \(=200\)
