Question

0.848 g aqueous solution of a mixture containing Na2CO3, NaOH and an inert matter is titrated with M2 HCl. The colour of phenolphthalein disappears when 20 mL of the acid has been added. Methyl orange is then added and 8.0 mL more of the acid is required to give a red colour to the solution. The percentage of Na2CO3 is :

Solution

The correct option is D 50
Let x and y are the mEq of NaOH and Na2CO3, respectively.
Phenolphthalein as indicator:
mEq of NaOH=12 mEq of Na2CO3= mEq of HCl
x+y2=12×1×20=10 ....(i)
Methyl orange as indicator:
mEq of Na2CO3(left)2= mEq of HCl
y2=12×8=4 ....(ii)
y=8,x=6
Weight of Na2CO3=8×103×1062=0.424g
% of Na2CO3=0.4240.848×100=50
