Question

A solution contains Na2CO3 and NaHCO3. 10 mL of this solution required 2.5 mL of 0.1 MH2SO4 for neutralization using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Methyl orange is then added when a further 2.5 mL of 0.2 M H2SO4 was required. The amount of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 respectively, in 1 litre of solution is:

A
5.3 g and 4.2 g

Solution

The correct option is A 5.3 g and 4.2 g
Lets say moles of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 in 10 ml mixture is x and y respectively
Phenolphthalein will reach end point after all the Na2CO3 is converted to NaHCO3 so
x×1=2.5×103×0.1×2
x=5×104
Methyl orange will reach to the end point after all the NaHCO3 is reacted that is x+y mole,
Hence x+y=2.5×103×0.2×2
x+y=103 so y=5×104
Mass of Na2CO3 in 1000 ml solution =2.5×103×0.1×2×106×100010=5.3g
mass of NaHCO3 in 1000 ml =5×104×84×100010=4.2g
