Question

1 g sample of washing soda was dissolved in 50 mL of 1MHCl. The excess acid required for the neutralization of 21.13 mL of 1.018M Ba(OH2). The degree of hydration of washing soda is :

Solution

Meq. of HCl added in washing soda =50×1=50
Meq. of HCl used for Ba(OH2)= Meq. of Ba(OH2) =21.13×1.018×2=43.02
Meq. of HCl used for washing soda =5043.02=6.98
Meq. of washing soda(Na2CO3)xH2O=6.98
or, wM2×1000=6.98 1×2M×1000=6.98(w=1 g)
Therefore, M=286.5 g mol1
Thus, molar mass of (Na2CO3)xH2O =46+60+18x=106+18x 106+18x=286.5orx=10
Therefore, the degree of hydration =10
