A sample known to consist of NaOH orNaHCO3, or Na2CO3 or possible compatible mixtures of these, together with inert matter. With methyl orange, a 1.10 g sample requires 31.40 mL of HCl (of which 1.00 mL ≈ 0.0140 g CaO). With phenolphthalein, the same weight of sample requires 13.30 mL of the acid. Calculate the percentage of inert matter in the sample.
