Chapter 3, Problem 3.121MP

Window glass is typically made by mixing soda ash $\left({\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ ,RAN limestone $\left({\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ , and silica sand $\left({\text{SiO}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ and then heating to1500 °C to drive off CO, from the $\left(\text{Na},{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ and ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$ .The resultant glass Consists of about 12% Na₂O by mass,13% CaO by mass, and 75% ${\text{SiO}}_{\text{2}}$ by mass. How muchof each reactant would you start with to prepare 0.35 kgof glass?
