Question
Mixture containing one mole Na2CO3 and one mole NaHCO3 is heated. If amount (in moles) of the residue is x, then 10x is:

Solution
Na2CO3 is stable to heat whereas NaHCO3 decomposes on heating. 2NaHCO3Δ−→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2 Thus, 1 mole of NaHCO3 will give 0.5 mole residue. Hence, 10x=10×0.5=5.
