    Chem26.1 ATQ6 Double Indicator Titration

    Uploaded by

    Alexander Gordon Ines
    This document describes a quantitative experiment to determine the composition of soda ash by double indicator titration. Distilled water is boiled to eliminate carbon dioxide, which could affect the acidity of solutions. A mixture of NaOH and NaHCO3 is incompatible because they will produce more Na2CO3 and H2O, changing the pH at the endpoint. The solution must be boiled before reaching the methyl orange endpoint to eliminate carbon dioxide, which could otherwise affect the pH. Based on the volume relationships at the phenolphthalein and methyl orange endpoints, the unknown soda ash sample is determined to contain 41.81 ± 0.01% NaHCO3 and 58.16 ± 0.04% Na2CO3.
