Solution
Only Na2CO3 will react with H2SO4 Applying N1V1(Na2CO3)≡N2V2(H2SO4) N1×20=75.5×110 N1=75.520×10=0.3775 Na2CO31mol.mass+H2SO42geq.→Na2SO4+H2O+CO2 Eq. mass of Na2CO3=1062=53 Mass of Na2CO3 present in 250mL0.3775N solution' =N×E×V1000=0.3775×53×2501000 =5.0018g Mass of NaCl=(10.875−5.0018)=5.8732g Na2CO3=5.001810.875×100=45.99% NaCl=5.873210.875×100=54.0%.
