Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 52

####51. A solid mixture (5.0g) consisting of lead nitrate and sodium nitrate was heated below 600C until the weight of the residue was constant. If the loss in weight is 28.0 per cent, find the amount of lead nitrate and sodium nitrate in the mixture.

Solution:

  1. Heating below 600C converts Pb(NO3)2 into PbO but to NaNO3 into NaNO2 as

MW

Pb(NO3)2ΔPbO(s)+2NO2+12O2 330222 NaNO3ΔNaNO2(s)+12O2

MW : 330

MW : 852869

Weight loss =5×28100=1.4g

Weight of residue left =51.4=3.6g

Now, let the original mixture contain xg of Pb(NO3)2.

330gPb(NO3)2 gives 222g PbO

xgPb(NO3)2 will give 222x330gPbO

Similarly, 85gNaNO3 gives 69gNaNO2

(5x)gNaNO3 will give 69(5x)85gNaNO2

Residue : 222x330+69(5x)85=3.6g

Solving for x gives, x=3.3gPb(NO3)2

NaNO3=1.7g.
