Question

In the reaction given below:
Mg(s)+NO3+H2OMg(OH)2(s)+OH(aq)+NH3(g)
20 mL of sample of NO3 solution is treated with Mg. The NH3(g) was passed into 50 mL of 0.1 M HCl. The excess HCl required 30 mL of 0.1 M KOH for its neutralization. If the molarity of NO3 ions in the original sample is x M, find the value of 10x.

Solution

Balance the equation in basic medium.
/8e+6H2O+NO3NH3+9OH
2OH+Mg2+Mg(OH)2+/2e]×4
____________________________________________
6H2O+NO3+4MgNH3+4Mg(OH)2+OH
____________________________________________
Note: The milliequivalents of NH3 is derived using valence factor of NH3=1 (in acid base reaction).
In redox reaction, valence factor for NH3 is 8.
Milliequivalents of NH3 formed = Milliequivalents of HCl used for NH3
=(50×0.1×1)(30×0.1×1) =2 meq.
Thus, meq.of NH3 for valence factor of 8=8×2=16
Also, meq. of NO3= mEq of NH3 =8×2=16 meq.
NNO3×VmL=16
NNO3×20=16
NNO3=1620=0.8 M
MNO3=0.88=0.1 M
Hence, the value of 10x is 1.
