HELLO,
Understand the reaction first
CaCO3 + 2HCl -----------> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
we know that
Normality = gram equivalent/volume
      0.2N  =  gram eq / 0.100
       so ,
gram equivalent of HCl = 0.2 X 0.100
                                     =      0.02
=> gram equivalent of HCl = moles of HCl = 0.02 moles
So moles of CaCO3 = 0.02/2
                                = 0.01 moles
so 1 mole = 22.4 litres
0.01 moles = 0.224 litres
THANK YOU
