1 DETERMINATION OF Na2CO3 AND NaOH IN A MIXTURE

Aim: To determine the amount of Na2CO3 and NaOH in a mixture using hydrochloric acid.
Principle:
When a known volume of the mixture of Na 2CO3 and NaOH is titrated with HCl using
phenolphthalein indicator, at the end point, all the hydroxide ions (OH -) and only half of the
carbonate ions (CO32-) are reacted with hydrochloric acid. When the titration is continued
with a methyl orange indicator, the remaining half of CO32- ions will be neutralized with HCl
at the end point.

A= all hydroxide ions + half of carbonate ions

B= half the carbonate ions after phenolphthalein end point

2B = all carbonate ions


A-B = all hydroxide ions Procedure:
Titration I: Standardization of HCl
Pipette out 20 ml of 0.1 N Na 2CO3 solution into a clean conical flask and add 2-3 drops of
methyl orange indicator to the solution. Then titrate the solution against hydrochloric acid
taken in the burette. Record end point (burette reading) when color changes from yellow to
orange. Repeat the titration till the concordant (two consecutive burette readings exactly
same) value is obtained.

Titration II: Estimation of Na2CO3 and NaOH in a given mixture

Dilute the given unknown solution to 250 ml in a standard flask using distilled water. Pipette
out 25 ml of this make up solution into a clean conical flask. Add 2-3 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator to the solution and titrate against standardized HCl. Record the
burette reading as an end point (phenolphthalein end point) of the titration when
disappearance of pink color is observed. Let’s consider the burette reading at the end point to
be ‘A’ ml. To the same solution, add 2-3 drops of methyl orange indicator and continue the
titration till the color changes from yellow to orange and note down the burette reading as
methyl orange end point. Consider it to be ‘B’ ml. Repeat the titration till the concordant (two
consecutive burette readings exactly the same) value for A and B is obtained.
