III. DISCUSSION OF FUNDAMENTALS
Introduction
In the previous experiments, it is cited there that there are many types of titrations, and they
differentiate according to what type of reaction it is. This experiment talks about an acid-base
titration reaction, except that it revolves under a wider concept than the former experiments done,
which is called as double-indicator titrations. Double indicator titration is defined as another
titration method that is applied on the observation of polyprotic bases and acids. Practically,
polyprotic acids and bases contain more than one equivalence point, and for which different
indicators should be used in the process to determine the different endpoints of different pH. In this
experiment, the carbonate species is to be used. Carbonate is in the form of CO32-, meaning it can
protonate twice, leaving NaHCO3, which when dissolved in water, Na+ becomes a counter ion, and
what’s left is the bicarbonate, an amphiprotic molecule, which can act as a base (deprotonate the H)
or as an acid (become carbonic acid). In its bicarbonate stage, however, from the carbonic acid, it
can readily act with the hydronium ions present in the solution, and form carbon dioxide and water.
The reaction of carbonate to H3O+ forming bicarbonate falls on a pH 9.0-10.0, from which methyl
orange is the one which can detect this pH change. With these stepwise reactions, one must not
need to perform a double indicator titration to analyze the content of the solution. Another example
for doing double indicator titration is on mixed samples containing Na2CO3 (CO32- counterpart),
NaHCO3 and NaOH. By doing qualitative analysis, the possible contents of the sample are to be
determined, and by that, one can now compute for the percentage of the components present in
the solution.
Body
Double indicator titration is a titration method applied to analysis of polyprotic acids and
polybasic bases. These samples pose more than one equivalence point and thus would need more
than one indicator to determine its endpoint. Sodium carbonate is one example of a polybasic base
and can be titrated to give two end points corresponding to the stepwise additions of protons to
form bicarbonate and carbon dioxide, which entails equal volumes of the same acid for each step as
shown below:
CO32- + H3O
+ HCO3- + H2O
HCO3- + H3O
+ CO2 + H2O

The first step is completed at pH 9-10, where the appropriate indicator is phenolphthalein and
the next step is completed at pH 4-5, for which methyl orange is suitable.
Double indicator titrations can also be done when the samples contain a combination of any of
the following bases, NaOH, NaHCO3, and / or Na2CO3. The first part of the analysis of a carbonate
mixture requires the determination of the individual components of the mixture. After which, the
amounts of each of the components can then be determined. The qualitative analysis of the
composition is done by titrating two identical samples with the same standard acid where one
sample makes use of phenolphthalein as the indicator and the other makes use of methyl orange.
The volumes of acid required to reach the endpoint for each titration is then compared to
determine the composition of the mixture (Table 1).
Table 1. Qualitative analysis of carbonate mixtures using volumes at end points
Component present Volume relationship of standard acid used to reach end points*
NaOH Vph = Vmo
NaHCO3 Vph = 0
Na2CO3 Vph = ½ Vmo
NaOH - Na2CO3 Vph > ½ Vmo
NaHCO3 - Na2CO3 Vph < ½ Vmo
*Vph – volume of acid used to reach end point using phenolphthalein
Vmo – volume of acid used to reach end point using methyl orange
The combination of NaOH and NaHCO3 results to an unstable mixture since reaction of these
two bases produces carbonate and water. The procedure requires additional steps to determine
contributions of each component.
This experiment would make use of this single titration using two indicators for the qualitative
analysis of the mixture while a modified procedure will be done for the quantitative analysis part.
The procedure is modified since the single titration technique is not precise in actual titrations for
quantitative analysis. This is because combination of these bases results to a buffer system that may
interfere with the phenolphthalein endpoint. The modified procedure adds the step wherein the
carbonate that is present in the sample will be precipitated with BaCl2 leaving the NaOH component
in solution to be titrated with HCl until the phenolphthalein endpoint while the total basic strength
of the mixture is determined by titration with the same standard acid until the methyl orange
endpoint.

Application Double indicator titrations mainly work out for mixtures with sodium carbonate, or hence referred to as soda ash. Soda ash is a versatile substance in the industry because of its many uses. Some of its practical applications would be glass making, petroleum refining, and many among others. This way, quality control can determine the sodium carbonate composition of a certain raw material to know and control the overall yield from it, and with this, double indicator titrations is used.

A burette (commonly spelled as buret), is a laboratory apparatus that is mainly used for
quantitative chemical analyses of liquids. It consists of a long, graduated glass tube with a stopcock
(in a liquid burette’s case, on the bottom) that is handled by a burette clamp, which is connected to
an iron stand. The volume that the burette dispenses is controlled by the stopcock, and is accurately
measured by the graduations of the glass tube.

VIII. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This experiment widely focuses on the analysis of sodium carbonate solutions and mixtures,
which is commonly known as soda ash. It is used in a widespread variety of industrial work, such as
glass making, petroleum refining, detergent manufacture, water treatment, etc. On a regular basis,
one can find a raw sample of pure sodium carbonate, or what would be a mixture of soda ash,
sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide. The three can form a mixture ideally with its respective
percentage compositions. These compositions are determined using acid-base titrations, which are
upped to another level, which we will call as double indicator titrations.
We can say that there should be a mixture of the three, but it is implausible to have a mixture of
NaOH and sodium bicarbonate. This is because they will react to form more carbonate, by the
reaction:

This reaction is undesirable for it will decrease the hydroxide and bicarbonate ion
concentrations, ultimately altering the overall result of the experiment.
The reaction between soda ash and hydrochloric acid (HCl) occurs in two stages for
neutralization, with the formation of the bicarbonate ion as an intermediate product, as follows:
(1)
(2)
The first equation shows the production of bicarbonate ion intermediate which will then be used
for the second equation, which shows the bicarbonate ion, is consumed in the second titration using
excess HCl from the first titration.
Since there is a possibility that sodium hydroxide is in the solution, the reaction goes on like a
neutralization reaction by the equation:
(1)
Stoichiometry confines each of the above reactions to react according to a mole ratio of 1:1. This
means, from the second equation, the number of mole of hydrochloric acid determined from the
methyl orange titration is equal to the number of moles of sodium bicarbonate. Likewise, the total
number of moles of sodium hydroxide and soda ash in the solution can then be computed according
to the volumes of HCl added accordingly to form the phenolphthalein and methyl orange endpoints,
respectively.
From the graph showing the relation
between the pH of soda ash vs. the
volume titrant (HCl) added, we can point
out a specification that soda ash
contains two endpoints, which is
characterized by two indicators,
phenolphthalein first, and then methyl
orange. The phenolphthalein endpoint
designates the visualization of the
neutralized carbonate ion as it was in a
basic medium, and the methyl orange
endpoint indicates the neutralization of
the bicarbonate ion. Figure 1. Titration curve of soda ash.

In this experiment, the purity of soda ash would be determined by double indicator titration
using HCl as the titrant, with soda ash being the primary standard, and using two indicators. The
question remains if the sample has inert impurities, and in doing so the titration process is done in
two steps, differentiated by the indicator used.
The experiment begins by diluting two different samples from its original stock using a 100 mL
volumetric flask with previously boiled and cooled distilled water with a ratio of 1:25. The distilled
water that is used must be first boiled and cooled to eliminate most impurities. Also, it removes the
alkaline earth carbonates that reside in the water solution, and as well as the dissolved carbon
dioxide gas in the water which may then produce carbonic acid when dissolved in water, as an
equilibrium process defined by the second equation. Carbonic acid build-up that was not originally
in the analyte might react to the components of soda ash, and will cause alterations in the
percentage components. By getting the dilution factor, the volume of the sample (actual) and the
total volume, the samples will now go through qualitative analysis. This is the most tedious part of
the experiment, because if this step fails, then the next steps that would follow would invalidate
everything up. The qualitative analysis of the sample should be done separately (one for each
indicator used), and the two samples should be labelled accordingly to avoid mix-up.
Using methyl orange as the indicator, transfer 10.0 mL aliquot of the sample into an Erlenmeyer
flask. Then add 4 drops of methyl orange into the aliquot and titrate it with the standard HCl
solution until the peach endpoint. The volume used in this will be labelled as Vmo. Using
phenolphthalein as the indicator, transfer 10.0 mL aliquot of the sample into an Erlenmeyer flask.
Then add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator on the aliquot and titrate it with the standard HCl
solution until the purple solution reaches its faint pink endpoint. The volume that is used will be
labelled as Vph. By using relations of Vmo and Vph using Table 1 (in the Body, Part II), the components
of the two samples will be determined and is checked by our instructor. When this process is already
done, we can now proceed to the quantitative analysis of the components. This analysis will now be
different in approach for the different components, and if the two samples are swapped of their
procedures, then grave errors would be committed, rendering a full repetition of the whole process.
The quantitative analysis goes on two parts: one being for the sample containing sodium
bicarbonate + sodium carbonate, and the one for the sample that contains sodium hydroxide + soda
ash.
For the quantitative analysis with the sample containing sodium bicarbonate + sodium
carbonate, it begins with the test using methyl orange as an indicator. An exact 10 mL aliquot of the
sample is transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask. Then 4 drops of methyl orange is added into the

sample and is set to be titrated by the standard HCl solution with 2 mL less from what is determined
from the qualitative analysis part. The under-titrated sample is then heated to a boil for 2-3 minutes
and is cooled to room temperature. After cooling, the titration process is continued until the peach
endpoint. The volume used will be labeled as Vmo of the sample. After that, by using the
phenolphthalein indicator, another 10 mL aliquot is transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask. Using
another buret, an exact 25.0 mL of standard 0.05N NaOH is added to the solution. Thereinafter, an
exact 10 mL of 10% barium chloride is immediately added to the solution, and is swirled and is
settled to let the precipitate stand. After that, 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator is added to the
sample and is titrated with the standard HCl solution until the faint pink endpoint. Since this sample
contains sodium bicarbonate, a blank should be prepared so that the carbon dioxide dissolved in the
distilled water can be accounted for. By mixing 10 mL of the boiled and cooled distilled water, 10 mL
of 10% barium chloride and 25 mL 0.05N NaOH, it is titrated with the standard HCl solution (with the
addition of 2 drops phenolphthalein indicator) to the faint pink endpoint. The difference between
the volumes of HCl used in the blank and the sample is recorded as the sodium bicarbonate that is
present and is labeled as Vph.
For the quantitative analysis with the sample containing sodium hydroxide + soda ash, it begins
with the test using methyl orange as an indicator. An exact 10 mL aliquot of the sample is
transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask. Then 4 drops of methyl orange is added into the sample and is
set to be titrated by the standard HCl solution with 2 mL less from what is determined from the
qualitative analysis part. The under-titrated sample is then heated to a boil for 2-3 minutes and is
cooled to room temperature. After cooling, the titration process is continued until the peach
endpoint. The volume used will be labeled as Vmo of the sample. It is as the same as the first sample,
since they both contain sodium carbonate, which is determined by the methyl orange titration
process. For the phenolphthalein indicator, the same process is used, except that there would be no
blank preparation, there would be no sodium hydroxide that will be added (since it is already there,
and there would be no need to add one for aesthetic purposes), and the barium chloride solution is
only added drop by drop until no further precipitation occurs (which can be tested by ordinary
means).
After getting all data, the percentage composition of the components for each of the sample is
expressed in %w/v, and is done in two trials for better accuracy.

IX. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This experiment proved upon the concepts involving one type of titration—Double indicator
titration. Throughout the experiment, we determined the qualitative components of two solutions.
The common wall between the two is that both contain Na2CO3, which is the counterpart of CO32-,
and will be the reason why the double indicator titration is performed. By using comparative
analysis between the volume used to reach phenolphthalein endpoint and the volume used to
reached the methyl orange endpoint, that will determine if the solution is mixed with NaOH or
NaHCO3, Since the two mixtures have different components, it is also a given that their respective
methods for determining the percentage composition on the solution is also different, Though, their
difference is pointed out on preparing a blank for the NaHCO3 + Na2CO3 solution, and by only using a
small amount of 10% BaCl2 solution (drop by drop) on the NaOH-Na2CO3 solution using a relatively
bigger (fixed) amount for the NaHCO3-Na2CO3. By getting all necessary volumes, the percentage of
the components is determined by w/v relatively, and multiplying it by the dilution factor (since it is
diluted). Therefore water is the major component, not the ones stated above.
Various errors might occur from the whole process on throughout. It may come as an
uncertainty in measurement and pretty much similar to that. The uncertainties of the mass of the
samples on beforehand can also contribute to the errors in the solution as they are mixed. The
uncertainties in measurements in the solutions can cause increase or decrease in volume (as it is an
uncertainty) that will be needed for the solutions that are prepared, and can change the results in
the computation process. Errors in reading the volume of the titrant can cause errors in the
calculated HCl concentrations (additionally, if the standardization process of HCl is not carried out
accurately, then chances are it will ultimately deter the quality of the experiment’s final results), as
inversely proportional error relating volume and concentration will result. Another possible source
of error is the determination of the endpoint of the titration since it was only based on color change
of the solution and there is no real basis as to what should be the perfect shade in telling the
endpoint (and since it was only dependent on an indicator, there would be a titration error
differentiating endpoint and equivalence point). This was always the case, and we students are left
behind with the possible explanations as to when the endpoint was actually reached, as some would
decide that the endpoint was already reached earlier (since the color should only persist for about
25 seconds and it would be debatable enough if it is just estimated), or rather some would already
see the phantom pink color that is not seen by others. With this, this can increase uncertainties in
the determination of the volume of HCl used. Lastly, another plausible source of error is the
dissolved carbon dioxide that is in the solution, and can interfere with the methyl orange color, and
thus altering the visual endpoint.

It is highly recommended the use of well calibrated instrument and glassware for
measurements. One must make sure that the glassware used in solution preparation was clean and
free of chemical contamination. Careful and correct burette reading of the volume of the titrant
used should also be observed. The observation of the color change which signifies the endpoint of
the titration for both indicators should be signified, and can be verified by doing multiple trials of
accurate dispositions
