0.5 g of fuming sulphuric acid (H2SO4+SO...

0.5 g of fuming sulphuric acid `(H_2SO_4+SO_3)`, called oleum, is diluted with water. Thus solution completely neutralised 26.7 " mL of " 0.4 M `NaOH`. Find the percentage of free `SO_3` in the sample solution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oleum consists of `SO_(3) " and " H_(2)SO_(4)`.
Let the mass of `SO_(3)` in the given sample of oleum be=x g
Mass of `H_(2)SO_(4)` in the given sample of oleum `=(0.5-x)g`
Eq. mass of `SO_(3)=(80)/(2)=40`
No. of g equivalents of `SO_(3)=(x)/(40)`
`[2NaOH+SO_(3)to Na_(2)SO_(4)+H_(2)O`
`2NaOH+H_(2)SO_(4) to Na_(2)SO_(4)+2H_(2)O]`
Eq. mass of `H_(2)SO_(4)=(98)/(2)=49`
No. of g equivalents of `H_(2)SO_(4)=((0.5-x))/(49)`
Total no. of a equivalents `=(x)/(40)+((0.5-x))/(49)`
26.7 mL of 0.4 N NaOH contain no. of equivalents of NaOH
`=(0.4)/(1000)xx26.7`
At equivalence point,
No. of g equivalents of `NaOH=(x)/(40)+((0.5-x))/(49)`
So, `(0.4xx26.7)/(1000)=(49x+(40xx0.5-40x))/(40xx49)`
`x=(0.9328)/(9)=0.1036`
Hence, % of free `SO_(3)=(0.1036)/(0.5)xx100`
=20.72

0.5 gm of fuming H_(2)SO_(4) (Oleum) is diluted with water. This solution is completely neutralised by 26.7 ml of 0.4 M NaOH solution. Calculate the percentage of free SO_(3) in the given sample. Give your answer excluding the decimal places.

1 g of oleum sample is dilute with water. The solution required 54 mL of 0.4 N NaOH for complete neutralization. Find the percentage of free SO_(3) in the sample?

2.0 g of oleum is diluted with water. The solution was then neutralised by 432.5 mL of 0.1 N NaOH . Select the correct statements:

Oleum is considered as a solution of SO_(3) in H_(2)SO_(4) , which is obtained by passing SO_(3) in solution of H_(2)SO_(4) When 100 g sample of oleum is diluted with desired mass of H_(2)O then the total mass of H_(2)SO_(4) obtained after dilution is known is known as % labelling in oleum. For example, a oleum bottle labelled as ' 019% H_(2)SO_(4) ' means the 109 g total mass of pure H_(2)SO_(4) will be formed when 100 g of oleum is diluted by 9 g of H_(2)O which combines with all the free SO_(3) present in oleum to form H_(2)SO_(4) as SO_(3)+H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4) 1 g of oleum sample is diluted with water. The solution required 54 mL of 0.4 N NaOH for complete neutralization. The % free SO_(3) in the sample is :
