The mass of calcium carbonate required to react with 1L of 1 m HCl to liberate 11.2L of CO2 IS

CaCO3 + 2HCl  -> CaCl2 + CO2 +H2O
1 L of 1 molar HCl solution contain 1 mol HCl.
So, According to the above equation, 1/2 mol CaCO3 is needed to liberate 11.2 l of Co2.
Molar mass of CaCO3  = 100 g
So, mass of 1/2 mol  CaCO3 = 50 g
