Question

6.2 g of a sample containing Na2CO3,NaHCO3 and non-volatile inert impurity on gentle heating loses 5% of its weight due to reaction as shown below:

2NaHCO3Na2CO3+H2O+CO2

Residue is dissolved in water and formed 100 mL solution and its 10 mL portion requires 7.5 mL of 0.2M aqueous solution of BaCl2 for complete precipitation of carbonates. Determine the weight (in g) of Na2CO3 in the original sample (as nearest integer).

Solution

Loss in weight due to heating=6.2×5100=0.31 g
2NaHCO3Na2CO3+CO2+H2O
2×84g44+18g loss
1 mole NaHCO3=31 g loss due to heating.
0.31 g loss is from 0.01 mol of NaHCO3.
Moles of Na2CO3 produced =0.012=0.005
Total moles of carbonate reacted with BaCl2=(7.5×0.2×10010)×103=0.015
Moles of carbonates in original sample =0.0150.005=0.001
Mass of Na2CO3 in original sample=0.01×106=1.06 g
Hence, the answer is 1.
