Solution

The correct option is A 84.8%
The equivalent weight of Na2CO3 is 53.

Let the amount of Na2CO3 present in the mixture be x g. Na2SO4 will not react with H2CO3.

Then, the number of gram equivalents of Na2CO3= the number of gram equivalents of H2SO4.

x53=20×0.1×101000

x=1.06g


Note: We have divided with 1000 to convert the volume of H2SO4 from mL to L.
We have multiplied with 10 as out of 250 mL of Na2SO4 solution, only 25 mL is used for neutralisation with H2SO4 25025=10

The number of gram equivalents of H2SO4 are obtained by multiplying volume with normality.

The percentage of Na2CO3=1.06×1001.25=84.8%
