Answer:

The correct answer is option (a).

Explanation:

The molecular formula of lithium carbonate is Li_2CO_3

Percentage of lithium in lithium carbonate = 18.8 %

Molar mass of the lithium carbonate = M

Atomic mass of lithium = 7 g/mol

18.8\%=\frac{2\times 7 g/mol}{M}\times 100

M = 74.46 g\mol

Mass of pure lithium carbonate is twice the mass of first sample:2\times 74.46 g/mol =148.92 g/mol

Percentage of lithium in pure lithium carbonate sample:

\%=\frac{2\times 7 g/mol}{148.92 g/mol}\times 100=9.40\%

The correct answer is option (a).
