Question

1000 g of a mixture of Na2CO3,Na2SO4 and NaOH for complete neutralisation requires 511 g of HCl. The same mixture when reacted with excess of BaCl2 solution, produces 466 g of white precipitate of BaSO4. Calculate the mass percentage of NaOH in the mixture.
(Given Molar mass of Na2CO3=106 g, Na2SO4=142 g, BaSO4=233 g, HCl=36.5 g and NaOH=40 g)

Solution

Let, number of moles of Na2CO3=a
number of moles of Na2SO4=b
number of mole of NaOH=c
a×106+b×142+c×40=1000
Now, moles of Na2SO4= moles of BaSO4
b=466233=2
So, 106a+40c=1000284106a+40c=716
For HCl,a×2+c×1=51136.5=1480a+40c=14×40
So, 26a=716560=156a=15626=6
So, c=1412=2
So, weight of NaOH=2×40=80 g
%NaOH=801000×100=8%
