Question : 6 of 53
Marks: +1, -0
How many mL of a 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with 1 g mixture of Na2CO3\mathrm{Na_2CO_3} and NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3} containing equimolar amounts of both?
Solution:  
Step 1 : Calculation of the number of moles of the components in the mixture.
Let Na2CO3\mathrm{Na_2CO_3} present in the mixture =x g= x \ \mathrm{g}
  NaHCO3\therefore \; \mathrm{NaHCO_3} present in the mixture =(1x) g= (1 - x) \ \mathrm{g}
Molar mass of Na2CO3\mathrm{Na_2CO_3} =2×23+12+3×16= 2 \times 23 + 12 + 3 \times 16 =106 gmol1= 106 \ \mathrm{g\,mol}^{-1}
Molar mass of NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3} =23+1+12+3×16= 23 + 1 + 12 + 3 \times 16 =84 g mol1= 84 \ \mathrm{g} \ \mathrm{mol}^{-1}
  \therefore \; No. of moles of  Na2CO3\ \mathrm{Na_2CO_3} in x g=x106x \ \mathrm{g} = \frac{x}{106}
No. of moles of  NaHCO3 in (1x) g=1x84\ \mathrm{NaHCO_3} \ \text{in}\ (1 - x) \ \mathrm{g} = \frac{1 - x}{84}
As mixture contains equimolar amounts of the two,
x106=1x84\frac{x}{106} = \frac{1 - x}{84} or, 106106x=84x106 - 106x = 84x or x=106190 g=0.558 gx = \frac{106}{190} \ \mathrm{g} = 0.558 \ \mathrm{g}
Thus, moles of  Na2CO3=0.558106=0.00526\ \mathrm{Na_2CO_3} = \frac{0.558}{106} = 0.00526
  \therefore \; Moles of NaHCO3=0.00526\mathrm{NaHCO_3} = 0.00526
Step 2 : To calculate the moles of HCl required.
Na2CO3+2HCl2NaCl+H2O+CO2\mathrm{Na_2CO_3} + 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaCl} + \mathrm{H_2O} + \mathrm{CO_2}
 NaHCO3+ HClNaCl+ H2O+ CO2\ \mathrm{NaHCO_3} + \ \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl} + \ \mathrm{H_2O} + \ \mathrm{CO_2}
1 mole of  Na2CO3\ \mathrm{Na_2CO_3} requires  HCl=2\ \mathrm{HCl} = 2 moles
  0.00526\therefore \; 0.00526 mole of  Na2CO3\ \mathrm{Na_2CO_3} requires  HCl=0.00526×2=0.01052 mole\ \mathrm{HCl} = 0.00526 \times 2 = 0.01052 \ \mathrm{mole}
1 mole of NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3} requires  HCl=1 mole\ \mathrm{HCl} = 1 \ \mathrm{mole}
  0.00526\therefore \; 0.00526 mole of  NaHCO3\ \mathrm{NaHCO_3} requires  HCl=0.00526 mole\ \mathrm{HCl} = 0.00526 \ \mathrm{mole}
  \therefore \; Total  HCl\ \mathrm{HCl} required =0.01052+0.00526=0.01578 mole= 0.01052 + 0.00526 = 0.01578 \ \mathrm{mole}
Step 3 : To calculate volume of 0.1 M HCl
Volume of acid =Number of molesMolarity= \frac{ \text{Number of moles} }{ \text{Molarity} } =0.015780.1=157.8 mL= \frac{0.01578}{0.1} = 157.8 \ \mathrm{mL}
