Solution " \(X\) " contains \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_3\). \(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(X\) when titrated using methyl orange indicator consumed \(60 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{HCl}\) solution. In another experiment, \(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(X\) solution when titrated using phenolphthalein consumed \(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{HCl}\) solution. The concentrations (in \(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1}\) ) of \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_3\) in \(X\) are respectively

  1. A \(0.01,0.02\)
  2. B \(0.1,0.1\)
  3. C \(0.01,0.01\)
  4. D \(0.1,0.01\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.1,0.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For titration of a basic solution of \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{NaHCO}_3\) against \(\mathrm{HCl}\), if phenolphthalein is used as indicator, the end point is indicated only for half neutralization of \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\), i.e., (upto…
