Vapour pressure of liquid only depends on the nature of liquid and temperature. It does not depend on
the volume, shape, or size of the container.

If a glass plate having negligible mass with a small hole is kept on top of the liquid surface, Due to the
mass of the glass plate being negligible. So, the gas pressure will be the same as external pressure.

Then the vapour pressure of the liquid in the vessel will be the same as if the glass plate were removed

0.4 g mixture of NaOH and some inert impurities was first titrated with   HCl using phenolphthalein as
an indicator, 17.5mL of HCl was required at the endpoint.

We know this formula of Quantitative volumetric analysis

N1V1 + N2V2 = NV

NV = M X nf X V = mole X nf

Now,

1st endpoint reaction

n-factor = 1 of NaOH

n-factor = 1 of Na2CO3
