How many mL of a 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with 1 g mixture of Na 2 CO 3 and NaHCO 3 containing equimolar amounts of both?
Solution:
Step 1 : Calculation of the number of moles of the components in the mixture.
LetNa 2 CO 3 present in the mixture = x g
∴ NaHCO 3 present in the mixture = ( 1 − x ) g
Molar mass ofNa 2 CO 3 = 2 × 23 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 106 g mol − 1
Molar mass ofNaHCO 3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 84 g mol − 1
∴ No. of moles of Na 2 CO 3 in x g =
No. of moles of NaHCO 3 i n ( 1 − x ) g =
As mixture contains equimolar amounts of the two,
=
or, 106 − 106 x = 84 x or x =
g = 0.558 g
Thus, moles of Na 2 CO 3 =
= 0.00526
∴ Moles of NaHCO 3 = 0.00526
Step 2 : To calculate the moles of HCl required.
Na 2 CO 3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
NaHCO 3 + HCl → NaCl + H 2 O + CO 2
1 mole of Na 2 CO 3 requires HCl = 2 moles
∴ 0.00526 mole of Na 2 CO 3 requires HCl = 0.00526 × 2 = 0.01052 mole
1 mole ofNaHCO 3 requires HCl = 1 mole
∴ 0.00526 mole of NaHCO 3 requires HCl = 0.00526 mole
∴ Total HCl required = 0.01052 + 0.00526 = 0.01578 mole
