Patents for Determination of Tellurium from plant ash

Solution: (1) Let the mass of potassium carbonate be X.

k2co 3+h2so 4 = k2co 4+H2O+CO2↑

138 44

X 6.6g g

138:x=44:6.6g?

x=20.7g?

(2) 20.7g××100% =11.7g.

The mass fraction of potassium in plant ash is ×100% =11.7%.

A: The mass of potassium carbonate is 20.7g, and the mass fraction of potassium element is 1 1 .70%.
