Question

6.2 g of a sample containing Na2CO3 & non-volatile inert impurity on gentle heating loses 5% of its weight due to reaction 2NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2. Residue is dissolved in water an formed 100 cc solution & its 10 cc portion requires 7.5 cc of 0.2 M aqueous solution of BaCl2 for complete precipitation of carbonates. Determine weight of Na2CO3 in the original sample.

Solution

Dear Student,

Weight loss is due to conversion of NaHCO3 to Na2CO32NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + H2O +CO22 mol 1 mol2 mol of NaHCO3 corresponds to 2×84=168 g1 mol of Na2CO3=106 gSo, loss in weight =168-106=62 gor, we can say that 31 g weight is lost per mole of NaHCO3and, 5% of 6.2 g of mixture is losti.e. 0.3 g of weight loss occurs from 0.331mol of NaHCO3 producing 0.362mol of Na2CO3Total moles of carbonate= Total moles of BaCl2So, M1×10=0.2×7.5or M1=0.15 Mi.e. Molarity of carbonate is 0.15 MSo, moles of carbonate in 100 ml solution =0.15×1001000=0.015 molNow moles of carbonate in original sample=0.015-0.362=0.01 Mass of Na2CO3 in original sample = 0.01 ×106=1.06 g
