Question

A double indicator analysis of a soda ash sample was performed. The student weighed 0.4375 g of the soda ash sample and dissolved it to make 100.0 mL solution. The students then took a 25 mL aliquot of the sample solution, then added 25 mL H2O and performed double indicator titration. The phenolphthalein endpoint required 10.27 mL 0.04027 M HCl titrant. The sample was further titrated using Methyl Orange and took a total of 15.97 mL of the titrant to reach the endpoint.
