0.4g mixture of NaOH, Na2CO3 and some inert impurities was first titrated with N / 10HCl using phenolphthalein as an indicator, 17.5 mL of HCl was required at the end point. After this methyl orange was added and titrated. 1.5 mL of the same HCl was required for the next end point. The weight percentage of Na2CO3 in the mixture is ______. (Rounded-off to the nearest integer)

Answer: 3% 1st end point reaction NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O nf = 1 NaCO3 + HCl → NaHCO3 nf = 1 Eq of HCl used = nNaOH × 1 + nNa2CO3... View Article
