To determine the NaCl content in commercial NaOH, 2g of the latter was dissolved in water and an excess amount of an AgNO3 solution was added to this solution. The precipitate formed was washed and dried. Its mass was 0.287g. Find the mass of NaCl in the initial sample.

Open in App
Solution

Reaction as follows:
NaCl+AgNO3NaNO3+AgCl
0.287gm of ppt AgCl=0.287143.32=0.002 moles of AgCl
Therefore 0.002 moles of NaCl forms 0.002 moles of AgCl
Mass of NaCl=0.002×58.5=0.117g
