Question

124 g of mixture containing NaHCO3, AlCl3 and KNO3 requires 500 mL, 8% (w/w) NaOH solution [dNaOH=1.8g/mL] for complete neutralization. On heating same amount of mixture, it shows loss in weight of 18.6 g. Weak base formed does not interfere in reaction. Assume KNO3 does not decompose under given conditions. The % (nearest integer) of AlCl3 in the mixture is ________ .

AlCl3+3NaOHAl(OH)3+3NaCl
NaHCO3+NaOHNa2CO3+CO2+H2O

Solution

The loss in mass on heating is 18.6 g.

2NaHCO3Na2CO3+CO2+H2O.

18.6 g corresponds to 18.644+18=0.3 moles of CO2+H2O which are obtained from 0.6 moles (50.4 g) of sodium hydrogen carbonate.

500 ml, 8% w/w NaOH of density 1.8 g/ml corresponds to 500 ml×1.8 g/ml=900 g×8100=72 g NaOH.

This corresponds to 7240=1.8 moles.

1-mole sodium hydrogen carbonate will react with 1 mole of NaOH.

Hence, 0.6 moles of NaHCO3 will react with 0.6 mole of NaOH.

1 mole AlCl3 will react with 3 moles of NaOH.

The number of moles of AlCl3=1.80.63=0.4 mol.

Mass of AlCl3=0.4×133.3=53.3 g

Percentage of AlCl3=53.36124×100=43%
