To a 10 ml, 1M aqueous solution of B r 2 , excess of NaOH is added so that all B r 2 is disproportionated to B r - and B r O 3 - . The resulting solution is made free of B r - by extraction and excess of O H - is neutralised by acidifying the solution. The resulting solution is sufficient to react with 2g of impure C a C 2 O 4 (M = 128 g/mole) sample. Which of the following is the correct % purity of oxalate sample
Options
- A84.3%
- B32.5%
- C60%
- D64%
Correct answer
D. 64%
Step-by-step solution
6 H + + B r O 3 - + 3 C 2 O 4 2 - → B r - + 6 C O 2 + 3 H 2 O 10/3 m mole B r O 3 - reacts with 10 m. mole C 2 O 4 2 - Mass of CaC 2 O 4 = 10 × 10 − 3 × 128 = 1 .28 g % purity = Weight of substance Weight of compound × 100 % purity = 1.28 2 × 100 = 64 %
