Generally commercial hydrochloric acid is prepared by heating NaCl with concentrated H 2 SO 4 . How much H 2 SO 4 solution containing 93.0% H 2 SO 4 by mass is required for the production of 1000 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid containing 43% HCl by weight.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Mass of HCl = 1000 × 
= 430 kg.
2NaCl + H 2 SO 4 
Na 2 SO 4 + 2HCl
= 
= mole of H 2 SO 4
Mass of H 2 SO 4 = 
= 577.26 × 10 3 g
Mass of 93% H 2 SO 4 = 577.26 × 
= 620.71 kg.
