Question

# Oleum is considered as a solution of $$SO_3$$ in $$H_2SO_4$$, which is obtained by passing $$SO_3$$ in solution of $$H_2SO_4$$.When 100 g sample of oleum is diluted with desired weight of $$H_2O$$ then the total mass of $$H_2SO_4$$ obtained after dilution is known as percentage labelling of oleum. For example , a oleum lablled as $$109\%$$ $$H_2SO_4$$ means 109g total mass of pure $$H_2SO4$$ will be formed when 100g of oleum is diluted by 9 g of $$H_2O$$ which combined with all the free $$SO_3$$ to form $$H_2SO_4$$ as $$SO_3 +H_2O \rightarrow H_2SO_4$$.1 g of oleum sample is diluted with water. The solution require 54 ml of 0.4 N NaOH for completed neutralization for the % of free $$SO_3$$ in the sample is:

A
74
B
26
C
20
D
None of these

Solution

## The correct option is B 26equivalent of $$H_2SO_4$$ + equivalent of $$SO_3$$= equivalent of NaOH$$\dfrac {x}{98} \times 2 + \dfrac {(1-x)\times 2}{80} =54 \times 0.4 \times 10^{-3}$$x=0.74% of free $$SO_3= \dfrac {1-0.74}{1}\times 100 =26$$%Chemistry
