JEE Advance - Chemistry (1979 - No. 8)

In the analysis of 0.5 g sample feldspar, a mixture of chlorides of sodium and potassium is obtained which weighs 0.1180g. Subsequent treatment of mixed chlorides with silver nitrate gives 0.2451 g of silver chloride. What is the percentage of sodium oxide and potassium oxide in feldspar.
Na₂O = 3.58%, K₂O = 10.62%
Na₂O = 5.00%, K₂O = 12.00%
Na₂O = 2.00%, K₂O = 8.00%
Na₂O = 10.62%, K₂O = 3.58%
Na₂O = 7.00%, K₂O = 15.00%

Explanation

Let,

We have x gm of $$N{a_2}O$$ and y gm of $${K_2}O$$ in 0.5 gm of feldspar.

$$\therefore$$ Total NaCl obtained $$ = {x \over {62}} \times 2 \times 58.5$$ gm

and total KCl obtained $$ = {y \over {94}} \times 2 \times 74.5$$

According to the question,

$${x \over {31}} \times 58.5 + {y \over {47}} \times 74.5 = 0.118$$

$$ \Rightarrow 1.887x + 1.585y = 0.118$$ ....... (1)

Now, 2nd part of the reaction happens

Similarly,

$$\therefore$$ Total moles of AgCl produced

$$ = \left( {{x \over {31}} + {y \over {47}}} \right)$$ moles

Molecular weight of AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5

Weight of $$AgCl = \left( {{x \over {31}} + {y \over {47}}} \right) \times 143.5$$

According to the question,

$$\left( {{x \over {31}} + {y \over {47}}} \right) \times 143.5 = 0.2451$$

$$ \Rightarrow 4.63x + 3.053y = 0.2451$$ ....... (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2), we get

$$x = 0.0179$$ gm

and $$y = 0.0531$$ gm

$$\therefore$$ % of $$N{a_2}O$$ in 0.5 g of feldspar $$ = {{0.0179} \over {0.5}} \times 100 = 3.58\% $$

and % of $${K_2}O$$ in 0.5 of feldspar $$ = {{0.0531} \over {0.5}} \times 100 = 10.62\% $$
