Question

A 2.0 g sample of a mixture containing sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium sulphate is gently heated till the evolution of CO2 ceases. The volume of CO2 at 750 mm of Hg pressure and at 298 K is measured to be 123.9 mL. A 1.5 g of the same sample requires 150 mL of M10HCl for complete neutralisation. The percentage composition of the components of the mixture will be :

A
Na2CO3=53%, Na2SO4=31.5%

Solution

The correct option is D Na2CO3=26.5%, Na2SO4=31.5%
Only NaHCO3 decomposes to give CO2.
The reaction is as follows:
2NaHCO3ΔNa2CO3+CO2+H2O

PV=nRT is the ideal gas equation.

750760×123.91000=n×0.0821×298 n=4.997×103=5×103 mol CO2

Moles of NaHCO3=5×103×2=0.01 mol
Mass of NaHCO3=0.01×84=0.84 g

Percentage of NaHCO3=0.842×10=42%

Millimoles of HCl=150×110=15 mmol

HCl reacts with Na2CO3 and NaHCO3.
2 g mixture has 0.01 mol NaHCO3.

1.5 g mixture has 0.012×1.5=0.0075 mol NaHCO3 =7.5 mmol of NaHCO3

NaHCO3+HClNaCl+CO2+H2O

Millimoles of HCl neutralization by Na2CO3=157.5=7.5 mmol

Na2CO3+2HCl2NaCl+CO2+H2O

Millimoles of Na2CO3=7.52=3.75 mmol

Mass of Na2CO3=3.75×106×103=0.3975 g

Percentage of Na2CO3=0.39751.5×100=26.5%

Percentage of Na2SO4=100(42+26.5)=31.5%
