Determination of a mixture of Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) and
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) by Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (0.1 N)
Equation:
HCl + Na 2CO 3 NaHCO3 + NaCl
HCl + NaHCO3 NaCl + CO 2 + H 2O

Procedure:
as
1- In case of Ph.Ph.
R
1- Fill the burette with HCl until zero mark.
2- Transfer 10 ml of mixture using pipette to the conical flask.
ia
3- Add 2 drops of Ph. Ph and swirl to mix well. A pink color will appear.

4- Titrate against HCl taken in burette drop by drop; shake well until the color
D
changed from pink to colorless. Record the burette volume.
