10 mL of a solution of KCl containing NaCl on evaporation gave 0.93 g of the mixed salt, which gave 1.865 g of AgCl by the reaction with AgNO3. The quantity of NaCl in 10 mL of the solution is (write it in multiples of 100) :

NaClAgNO3−−−−→AgCl a g KClAgNO3−−−−→AgCl b g ∴a+b=0.93...(i)
∵58.5 g NaCl gives 143.5 g AgCl.
∴a g NaCl gives 143.5×a58.5 g AgCl
Similarly, ∵74.5 g KCl gives 143.5 g AgCl
∴b g KCl gives 143.5×b74.5g AgCl
∴143.5a58.5+143.5b74.5=1.865...(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get a=0.14 g b=0.79 g
