The impure $$6$$ $$g$$ of $$NaCl$$ is dissolved in water and then treated with excess of silver nitrate solution. The mass of precipitate of silver chloride is found to be $$14\,g.$$ The $$\% $$ purity of $$NaCl$$ solution would be :
A.
95%
B.
85%
C.
75%
D.
65%
Answer :
95%
Solution :
The reaction that takes place is
$$NaCl + AgN{O_3} \to AgCl \downarrow + NaN{O_3}$$
$$\therefore \,\,143.5\,g$$ of $$AgCl$$ is produced from $$58.5$$ $$g$$ $$NaCl$$
$$\therefore \,\,14\,g$$ of $$AgCl$$ will be produced from $$\frac{{58.5 \times 14}}{{143.5}} = 5.70\,g\,NaCl$$
This is the amount of $$NaCl$$ in common salt; $$\% \,{\text{purity}} = \frac{{5.70}}{6} \times 100 = 95\% $$
