PRACTICE PROBLEMS

DOUBLE TITRATION INDICATOR

1. A 1.2034grams sample was titrated with 0.5324M HCl, with phenolphthalein as indicator. The
solution turned colorless after the addition of 25.6ml of the acid. Methyl orange was then added
and a volume of 0.3ml more of the acid was required for the color to change to pink. Determine
the identity of the sample and its percent purity.

2. A 5.0ml mixture containing Na 2CO3 and NaOH required 28.8ml of 0.5000N HCl to reach a
phenolphthalein end point and an additional 14.4ml to reach a methyl orange. What are the
percentage of Na2CO3 and NaOH.

3. A 2.4671grams sample was titrated with 0.5282M of HCl. It consumed a volume of 23.4ml to
reach a phenolphthalein end point and an additional 47.2ml of the acid was consumed to reach a
methyl orange end point. What is the identity of the sample and its percentage compositions.
