Q.

Titration of  Na3PO4 with  HCl to phenolphthalein end point produces Na2HPO4. Subsequent titration to methyl orange end point produces   NaH2PO4.'x'  milligrams of  Na3PO4 and 'y'  milligrams of Na2HPO4  present in a sample required  25.00mL,   0.12NH2SO4 solution to reach the phenolphthalein end point and an additional 35.00mL  of the acid to attain the methyl orange end point. Find the value of (x+y) ____
(At Wts : Na – 23, H – 1, O – 16, P – 31)

Detailed Solution

 meqofH2SO4 needed for phenolphthalein end point  =25×0.12=3.0=meqofNa3PO4
Additional meqofH2SO4  required continuing the titration till methyl orange end point  =35×0.12=4.2
Out of 4.2meq,3.0meq  of acid would be consumed for Na2HPO4  produced from  Na3PO4 in the previous step of titration.
   4.23=1.2meqofH+  would be required for neutralizing Na2HPO4  present in original sample to  NaH2PO4.
        massofNa3PO4=3×103×64=0.492g =492mg        massofNa3HPO4=1.2×103×142=0.1704g =170.4mg
