Solution

Dear Student,

The reaction scheme is,

SO3+ 2NaOH Na2SO4+H2O1 mole of SO3 reacts with 2 mole of OH- ions,Equivalent mass of SO3=Molecular mass of SO32 =32+3(16)2 =802= 40 gequivsince 2H+ ions reacts per H2SO4 molecule,Equivalent mass of H2SO4=Molecular mass of H2SO42=2(1)+32+4(16)2 = 982=49 gequivLet's consider x gm of SO3 present in 0.5 gm oleumMass sulfuric acid in 0.5 gm oleum = (0.5-x) gmEquivalent of H2SO4 = 0.5-x49Equivalent of SO3= x40Equivalent of NaOH = 0.4 N× (26.71000) litres = 0.01068 equiv.We know 1 gm-equiv of acids neutralizes 1 gm-equiv of basesHence we get,x40+(0.5-x)49=0.01068on solving we get,49x + 40(0.5)-40x=0.01068(49)(40)9x=0.9328 gmx=0.103 gmLet's compute for %,% of free SO3 = Mass of SO3Total mass×100 = 0.103 gm0.5 gm× 100% = 20.6%

Regards.
