Redox Reactions question

2021 · 25 Feb · Shift 1 · Q18

JEE MainChemistryRedox ReactionsNumerical+4 / −1
0.4 g mixture of NaOHNaOHNaOH, Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​ and some inert impurities was first titrated with N10{N \over {10}}10N​ HClHClHCl using phenolphthalein as an indicator, 17.5 mL of HClHClHCl was required at the end point. After this methyl orange was added and titrated. 1.5 mL of same HClHClHCl was required for the next end point. The weight percentage of Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​ in the mixture is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​. (Rounded off to the nearest integer)

Correct answer: 4

  1. Let the amounts be:

    • Moles of NaOH=xNaOH = xNaOH=x
    • Moles of Na2CO3=yNa_2CO_3 = yNa2​CO3​=y
  2. Reaction with HClHClHCl up to phenolphthalein end point:

    Phenolphthalein end point corresponds to:

    • complete neutralization of NaOHNaOHNaOH
    • conversion of Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​ to NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​

    So, acid consumed: x+yx + yx+y

    Given 17.5 mL17.5\text{ mL}17.5 mL of N/10=0.1NN/10 = 0.1NN/10=0.1N HClHClHCl is used.

    Since HClHClHCl is monoprotic, moles of HCl=0.1×17.5×10−3=1.75×10−3\text{moles of } HCl = 0.1 \times 17.5 \times 10^{-3} = 1.75 \times 10^{-3}moles of HCl=0.1×17.5×10−3=1.75×10−3

    Therefore, x+y=1.75×10−3x + y = 1.75 \times 10^{-3}x+y=1.75×10−3

  3. Reaction from phenolphthalein to methyl orange end point:

    Now only NaHCO3NaHCO_3NaHCO3​ formed from Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​ is neutralized: NaHCO3+HCl→NaCl+H2O+CO2NaHCO_3 + HCl \to NaCl + H_2O + CO_2NaHCO3​+HCl→NaCl+H2​O+CO2​

    Hence acid consumed in second stage equals moles of Na2CO3=yNa_2CO_3 = yNa2​CO3​=y.

    Given additional 1.5 mL1.5\text{ mL}1.5 mL of 0.1N0.1N0.1N HClHClHCl: y=0.1×1.5×10−3=1.5×10−4y = 0.1 \times 1.5 \times 10^{-3} = 1.5 \times 10^{-4}y=0.1×1.5×10−3=1.5×10−4

  4. **Mass of Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​: **

    Molar mass of Na2CO3=106Na_2CO_3 = 106Na2​CO3​=106 g/mol.

    m=y×106=1.5×10−4×106=0.0159 gm = y \times 106 = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 106 = 0.0159\text{ g}m=y×106=1.5×10−4×106=0.0159 g

  5. Weight percentage in 0.4 g mixture:

    % Na2CO3=0.01590.4×100=3.975%\%\,Na_2CO_3 = \frac{0.0159}{0.4} \times 100 = 3.975\%%Na2​CO3​=0.40.0159​×100=3.975%

    Rounded to nearest integer: 4%4\%4%

  6. Final Answer:

    The weight percentage of Na2CO3Na_2CO_3Na2​CO3​ is: 4\boxed{4}4​
