Problem

On ignition, Rochelle salt NaKC4H4O6⋅4H2O\text{NaKC}_4\text{H}_4\text{O}_6 \cdot 4\text{H}_2\text{O} (molar mass 282) is converted into NaKCO3\text{NaKCO}_3 (molar mass 122). 0.9546 g sample of the Rochelle salt on ignition gives NaKCO3\text{NaKCO}_3 which is titrated with 41.72 mL H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 . From the following data, find the percentage purity of the Rochelle salt. The solution after neutralization requires 1.91 mL of 0.1297 N NaOH\text{NaOH} . The H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 used for the neutralization requires its 10.27 mL against 10.35 mL of 0.1297 N NaOH\text{NaOH} .
