Solution
The correct option is A2x i. With phenolphthalein indicator, NaHCO3 does not react with HCl whereas with Na2CO3 is 50% reaction. VHCl=xmL (Half titre value of Na2CO3) ii. With methyl orange indicator, NaHCO3 reacts completely with HCl and with Na2CO3 is 100% reaction. But ymL of HCl is added after Na2CO3 has reacted upto NaHCO3 i.e., half titre value of Na2CO3. VHCl=Full litre value of NaHCO3+ Half titre value of Na2CO3 ymL=x′+xmL ∴ Volume of HCl required for complete reaction of Na2CO3=xmL+xmL=2xmL
