6 A white powder is known to be a mixture of magnesium oxide and aluminium oxide.
100 cm3 of 2 mol dm–3 NaOH(aq) is just sufficient to cause the aluminium oxide in x grams of the
mixture to dissolve.
The reaction occurring is Al 2O3 + 2OH– + 3H2O → 2Al (OH)4-
800 cm3 of 2 mol dm–3 HCl (aq) is just sufficient to cause all of the oxide in x grams of the mixture
to dissolve.
The reactions occurring are Al 2O3 + 6H+ → 2Al3+ + 3H2O
and MgO + 2H+ → Mg2+ + H2O.
How many moles of each oxide are present in x grams of the mixture?
aluminium magnesium
oxide oxide
A 0.05 0.25
B 0.05 0.50
C 0.10 0.25
D 0.10 0.50
