A 2.0 g sample of a mixture containing sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium suplphate is gently heated till the evolution of CO2 ceases. The volume of CO2 at 750 mm Hg pressure and at 298K is measured to be 123.9 ml. A 1.5g of the same sample requires 150 ml. of (M/10) HCl for complete neutralisation. Calculate the % composition of the components of the mixture.

One gram of commercial AgNO3 is dissolved in 50 ml. of water. It is treated with 50 ml. of a KI solution. The silver iodide thus precipitated is filtered off. Excess of KI in the filterate is titrated with (M/10) KIO3 solution in presence of 6M HCl till all I- ions are converted into ICl. It requires 50 ml. of (M/10) KIO3 solution. 20 ml. of the same stock solution of KI requires 30 ml. of (M/10) KIO3 under similar conditions. Calculate the percentage of AgNO3 in the sample.

At room temperature the following reacton is procedd nearly to completion:

2NO + O2 $$\to$$ 2NO2 $$\to$$ N2O4

The dimer, N2O4, solidifies at 262 K. A 250 ml flask and a 100 ml flask are separated by a stop-cock. At 300 K, the nitric oxide in the larger flask exerts a pressure of 1.053 atm. and the smaller one contains oxygen at 0.789 atm. The gases are mixed by the opening stopcock and after the end of raction the flasks are cooled at 220K. Neglecting the vapour pressure of the dimer, find out the pressure and composition of the gas remaining at 220 K. (Assume the gases to behave ideally)
