A white powder is known to be a mixture of magnesium oxide and aluminium oxide. 100 cm³ of 2 mol dm⁻³ NaOH(aq) is just enough to dissolve the aluminium oxide in x grams of the mixture. The reaction is shown. Al₂O₃ + 2OH¯ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₄¯ 800 cm³ of 2 mol dm⁻³ HCl(aq) is just enough to dissolve all of the oxide in x grams of the mixture. The reactions are shown. Al₂O₃ + 6H⁺ → 2Al³⁺ + 3H₂O MgO + 2H⁺ → Mg²⁺ + H₂O How many moles of each oxide are present in x grams of the mixture?
