0.4 g mixture of NaOH,Na2CO3 and some inert impurities was first titrated with N10HCl 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 same HCl was required for the next end point. The weight percentage of Na2CO3 in the mixture is (Rounded-off to the nearest integer)

Solution

Upto first end point gm equi. of NaOH+Na2CO3=HCl

x+y×1=110×17.5

x+y=1.75   ....1

Upto second end point

NaOH+Na2CO3HCl

x+y×2=110×19

x+2 y=1.9   ....2

y=0.15

%Na2CO3=0.15×10-3×1060.4×100

=3.975%

=4%

Hence answer is 4
