Question

A 0.6234 g sample that might contain NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3 or a mixture of NaOH+Na2CO3 or Na2CO3+NaHCO3 is titrated with 0.1062MHCl by two-indicator method. It is found that 40.38 mL of the acid is required to reach the phenolphthalein end-point. Methyl orange is then added to the solution and the titration continued using an additional 12.83 mL of the acid. Thus, the sample contained :

A
NaOH+Na2CO3+NaHCO3

Solution

The correct option is A NaOH+Na2CO3
The phenolphthalein indicator shows the end point which corresponds to 50% neutralization of sodium carbonate.
Methyl orange indicator gives the end point corresponding to 100% of sodium carbonate.
Since, 40.38 mL > 12.83 mL, the sample must contain NaOH and Na2CO3.
