Q1: In the reaction, represented by Na2CO3 + HC1 → NaHO3 + NaCl, the equivalent weight of Na2CO3 isA 53
B 5.3
C 106
D 10.6
ANS:C - 106 To find the equivalent weight of Na2CO3Na2CO3 in the given reaction, we first need to understand the concept of equivalent weight. The equivalent weight of a compound is the weight of the compound that can supply or react with one mole of hydrogen ions (H⁺) or hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in a chemical reaction. The reaction given is: Na2CO3+HCl→NaHCO3+NaClNa2CO3+HCl→NaHCO3+NaCl From the reaction, we can see that 1 mole of Na2CO3Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HClHCl to form 1 mole of NaHCO3NaHCO3 and 1 mole of NaClNaCl. The molar mass of Na2CO3Na2CO3 is approximately 2×23+12+3×16=106 g/mol2×23+12+3×16=106g/mol. Since Na2CO3Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HClHCl, its equivalent weight is half its molar mass. Equivalent weight of Na2CO3=Molar mass of Na2CO32=1062=53 g/equivEquivalent weight of Na2CO3=2Molar mass of Na2CO3=2106=53g/equiv Therefore, the equivalent weight of Na2CO3Na2CO3 is 53 g/equiv. |
