10 g of a mixture of sodium chloride and anhydrous sodium sulphate is dissolved in water. An excess of barium chloride solution is added and 6.99 g of barium sulphate is precipitated according to the equation given below:
Na2SO4 + BaCl2 ⟶ BaSO4 + 2NaCl
Calculate the percentage of sodium sulphate in the original mixture.
