JEE Advance - Chemistry (1990 - No. 4)

A solid mixture (5.0 g) consisting of lead nitrate and sodium nitrate was headed below 600oC until the weight of the residue was constant. If the loss in weight 28.0 percent, find the amount of lead nitrate and sodium nitrate in the mixture.
Pb(NO3)2 = 3.324 g, NaNO3 = 1.676 g
Pb(NO3)2 = 1.676 g, NaNO3 = 3.324 g
Pb(NO3)2 = 2.5 g, NaNO3 = 2.5 g
Pb(NO3)2 = 4.0 g, NaNO3 = 1.0 g
Pb(NO3)2 = 1.0 g, NaNO3 = 4.0 g

Let, weight of $$Pb{(N{O_3})_2}$$ in the mixture = x gm

Then weight of $$NaN{O_3}$$ in the mixture $$ = (5 - x)$$ gm

$$\therefore$$ Moles of $$Pb{(N{O_3})_2} = {x \over {332}}$$

and moles of $$NaN{O_3} = {{5 - x} \over {85}}$$

$$\therefore$$ Moles of $$PbO = {x \over {332}}$$

and moles of $$NaN{O_2} = {{5 - x} \over {85}}$$

Loss in weight happens as gaseous substance removed from the mixture.

$$\therefore$$ Weight of residue $$PbO$$ and $$NaN{O_2} = 100 - 28 = 72\% $$

$$\therefore$$ Weight of residue $$ = 5 \times {{72} \over {100}} = 3.6$$ gm

$$\therefore$$ Weight of $$PbO$$ + Weight of $$NaN{O_2} = 3.6$$

$$ \Rightarrow {x \over {332}} \times 224 + {{5 - x} \over {85}} \times 69 = 3.6$$

$$ \Rightarrow 224x + (5 - x) \times 69 \times 332 = 3.6 \times 85 \times 332$$

$$ \Rightarrow x = 3.324$$ g

$$\therefore$$ Weight of $$Pb{(N{O_3})_2} = 3.324$$ gm

$$\therefore$$ Weight of $$NaN{O_3} = 5 - 3.324 = 1.676$$ gm
