Question

A 2.10 g mixture of NaHCO3 and KClO3 requires 100 mL of 0.1 N HCl for complete reaction. Calculate the amount of residue (as nearest integer) that would be obtained on strongly heating 2.20 g of the same mixture.

Solution

Only NaHCO3 reacts with 0.1 N HCl.
Let x g be the weight of NaHCO3 and (2.1x) g be the weight of KClO3.
Milliequivalents of NaHCO3=100×0.1=10
Weight of NaHCO3=10×103×84=0.84g
Weight of KClO3=2.10.84=1.26g
2NaHCO3ΔNa2CO3+H2O+CO2
2 mol of NaHCO3=2×82 g
Na2CO3=106 g
2KClO3Δ2KCl+3O2
The residue will have Na2CO3 and KCl.
KClO3=122.5 g
KCl=74.5 g
Weight of residue from 2.1 g of mixture=5384×0.84+74.5122.5×1.26=0.53+0.766=1.296 g
Weight of residue from 2.2 g of the mixture =0.84+1.26=2.20 g=1.2962.1×2.2=1.358 g
Hence, the answer to the nearest integer is 1.
