Question 14 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Based on the following analytical data, answer the given question.
A mineral, which can be represented by the formula $Mg _xBa _y(CO _3) _2$, was analyzed as described below:

A sample of the mineral was dissolved in excess hydrochloric acid and the solution made up to $100 cm^3$ with water. During the process, $48 cm^3$ of carbon dioxide, measured at $25^{\circ}C$ and 1-atmosphere pressure, were evolved.

A $25.0 cm^3$ portion of the resulting solution required $25.0 cm^3$ of EDTA solution of concentration $0.02 \ mol / dm^3$ to reach an end-point. A further $25.0 cm^3$ portion gave a precipitate of barium sulphate of mass 0.058 g on treatment with excess dilute sulphuric acid. You may assume that group-2 metal ions form 1:1 complexes with EDTA. Molar volume of any gas at $25^{\circ}C$ and 1 atmosphere pressure $ = 24 dm^3$).

The formula of the mineral is: 

  1. $MgBa(CO _3) _4$
  2. $MgBa(CO _3) _2$
  3. $MgBa(CO _3) _3$
  4. $Mg _2Ba(CO _3) _4$
