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: 2NaHCO3→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2. Residue is dissolved in water and formed 100mL solution and its 10mL portion requires 7.5mL of 0.2M aqueous solution of BaCl2 for complete precipitation of carbonates. Determine weight (in g) of Na2CO3 in the original sample.
