Question

6 g mixture of NH4Cl and NaCl is treated with 110 mL of a solution of caustic soda of 0.63 N. The solution is then boiled to remove NH3. The resulting solution requires 48.1 mL of a solution of the 0.1 N HCl. The % composition of the mixture is (only integer part) :

Solution

NaOH added in mixture of NH4Cl and NaCl reacts with NH4Cl only to give off NH3
The excess of NaOH is used by HCl.
Meq. of NaOH added in mixture =110×0.63=69.3
Meq. of NaOH left after reaction with NH4Cl=Meq. of HCl used =48.1×0.1=4.81
Now, Meq. of NH4Cl=Meq. of NaOH used for NH4Cl =69.34.81=64.49
(w53.5)×1000=64.49
or, wNH4Cl=(3.456)×100=57.5%
and % of NaCl =10057.5=42.5 %
So, answer is 42.
