Q.

0.4 g mixture of NaOH,Na2CO3 and some inert impurities was first titrated with HCl using phenolphthalein as an indicator, 17.5 mL of HCl was required at the endpoint. After this methyl orange was added and titrated. 1.5 mL of same HCl was required for the next endpoint. The weight percentage of Na2CO3 in the mixture is (Rounded off to the nearest integer).

Detailed Solution

Given, the chemical reaction

HCl+Na2CO3NaHCO+ 3 H2O

HCl+NaHCO3NaCl+CO2+H2O

with NaOH the reaction will be

HCl+NaOHNaCl+H2O

 Let n moles of {NaOH} be x

And n moles of Na2CO3 be y

First endpoint

NaOH+Na2CO3=HCl(x+y)×1=110×17.5

x+y=1.75 -------(i)

Second endpoint

(NaOH+Na2CO3)=HCl

x+y×2=110×19 ---------(ii)

x+2 y=1.9

From (i) and(ii)

Y= 0.15

Weight percentage of Na2CO3=0.15×10-3×1060.4×100=3.975%4

Therefore, weight % NaCO3 is 4.
