1.	A sample of a mixtureof Na_(2)CO_(3) and NaHCO_(3) is subjected toheatingtill there is nofurther loss in weight. Assuming, that the loss in weight of thesample is 22% of theinitial weight of the mixture due to theevolution of CO_(2), find out the relative percentages of the two components in themixture.
Answer» Solution :(i) action of heating on the compounds `Na_(2)CO_(3) and NaHCO_(3)`. (ii) determination of the mass of `Na_(2)CO_(3) and NaHCO_(3)` from themass of `CO_(2)` produced (iii) `84%NaHCO_(3)` `16%Na_(2)CO_(3)`
