    \[1g\]of fuming\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\](oleum: It is a mixture of concentrated\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]saturated with\[S{{O}_{3}}\]and having formula\[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]) is diluted with\[{{H}_{2}}O\]. This solution is completely neutralised by \[26.7mL\]of\[0.8\text{ }N\text{ }NaOH\]. Find the percentage of free\[S{{O}_{3}}\]in the oleum.

    A) 20.73%                 

    B)  43.80%

    C) 79.27%            

    D)        60.74%

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[S{{O}_{3}}\]of\[{{H}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]is converted into\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\], hence\[S{{O}_{3}}\]acts also as a dibasic acid. Eq. wt.  \[(S{{O}_{3}})=\frac{M}{2}=40\] Let\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]in fuming\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}=x\,\,g\]                 \[S{{O}_{3}}=(1-x)g\] Equivalent of\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}=\frac{x}{49}\]                                 \[S{{O}_{3}}=\frac{1-x}{40}\] Equivalent of\[NaOH\]used\[=\frac{26.7\times 0.8}{1000}\]                                                    \[=0.02136\]                                 \[\frac{x}{49}+\frac{1-x}{40}\,=0.02136\] \[x=0.7927g\,\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]in\[1g\] oleum. Percentage of\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}=79.27%\]                                  \[S{{O}_{3}}=20.73%\]
