Question

A sample of P2O6 contains some H3PO4 impurity. A 0.405 g sample is reacted with water (P2O5 + 3H2O 2H3PO4), and the resulting solution is titrated with 0.25M NaOH requiring 42.5 mL (upto Na2HPO4). The percentage purity of H3PO4 as nearest integer is :

Solution

The number of millimoles of NaOH =0.25×42.5=10.625 millimoles.
The number of millimoles of phosphoric acid 0.5×10.625=5.3125 millimoles.
The number of millmoles of phosphorus pentoxide =0.5×5.3125=2.65 millimoles.
Mass of phosphorus pentoxide =2.65×103×142=0.37718 g.
So, % purity is 25.
