A `2.0 g` of mixture of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` and `NaHCO_(3)` loses `0.248 g` when heated to `300^(@)C`, the temperature at which `NaHCO_(3)` decomposes to `Na_(2)CO_(3)`, `CO_(2)`, the temperature at which `NaHCO_(3)` decomposes to `Na_(2) CO_(3), CO_(3)` and `H_(2) O`. What is the percentage of `Na_(2) CO_(3)` in mixture?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Na_(2)CO_(3) overset(Delta)` No change
Let `x` of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` and `(2 -x) g` of `NaHCO_(3)`is due to `CO_(2)` and `H_(2) O`
`:. 2 xx 84 g NaHCO_(3) = 62 g` of weight lost
`(2 - x) g NaHCO_(3) = (62 (2 - x))/(2 xx 84) = 0.248`
`:. x = 1.328 g` (weight of `Na_(2) CO_(3)`)
`% Na_(2) CO_(3) = (1.328 xx 100)/(2) = 66.4%`
