Question

A solution containing Na2CO3 and NaOH requires 300 mL of 0.1 N HCl using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Methyl orange is then added to the above-titrated solution when a further 25 mL of 0.2 N HCl is required. The amount of NaOH present in the original solution is:

Solution

The correct option is C 1 g
300 mL HCl of 0.1 N neutralises entire amount of NaOH and 1/2 of Na2CO3. Remaining 1/2 of Na2CO3 is neutralised by 25 mL of 0.2 N HCl, i.e., 50 mL of 0.1 N HCl.
Thus, 250 mL of 0.1 N HCl is required to neutralise NaOH completely.
N1V1(NaOH)=N2V2(HCl)
=0.1×250
=25
WNaOH=ENV1000=40×251000=1 g.
