Question
In the Le Blanc Soda Process the first step is carried out according to the following reaction:
NaCI + H2SO4 = NaCI + NaHSO4 + HCI
The acid contains 80% H2SO4. It is supplied 5% in excess of that theoretically required by the above reaction.
(a) Calculate the weight of the acid supplied/1000 kg salt charged
