Detailed Solution

In presence of phenopthalein, only strong bases are neutralised and color chnage is observed as if changes color in the range 8.2 to 10.

In presence of methyl orange whose color range of PH is 3.3 to 4.4, both strong and wek bases are neutralised.

In other words, in presence of phenopthalein half the equivalents of Na2CO3 is neutralised while in presence of methyl orange complete equivalents of Na2CO3 is neutralised.

CO3-2 is a stronger base than HCO3-
