DETERMINATION OF THE CONTENTS OF SODIUM BICARBONATE

AND SODIUM CARBONATE
This is determined by titration of the sample solution with standard
hydrochloric acid.
4.1
Reagents
The reagents used shall be of analytical grade and the water shall be distilled
water.
4.1.1
Phenolphthalein indicator.
4.1.2
Methyl orange indicator.
4.1.3
Hydrochloric acid (analar).
4.1.4
Sodium carbonate (analar).
4.2
Apparatus
Dry and clean glassware shall be used in all the tests.
4.2.1
pH meter.
4.3
Procedure
4.3.1
A standard solution of sodium carbonate is prepared as follows:

Weigh accurately 1-2 g of sodium carbonate, dry in a crucible at 110oC cool in
dissicator and reweigh. Transfer the dried carbonate into a 250 ml graduated
flask with water and complete and adjust to the mark and mix well.
4.3.2
Calculation of sodium carbonate molarity.

The molarity [M] of sodium carbonate solution is calculated as follows:
GULF STANDARD
Molarity =
GS 1111/2002
Weight of Na2CO3 in grams x 1000

-------------------------------------------Molecular weight of Na2CO3 x V
Where V = Volume of the prepared solution, ml.

4.3.3
Preparation and standardization of Hcl solution

Prepare 1 L of 0.1 M. Hcl solution by diluting the concentrated stock. The
volume of the concentrated acid needed is calculated from the following
equation:
0.1 x 1000
Volume of conc. Hcl, ml = --------------------------Molarity of conc. Hcl
Then titrate the acid against the prepared standard sodium carbonate solution,
as follows:
Pipette 10 ml of the standard Na2CO3 solution into a 250 ml flask and add two
drops of methyl orange indicator. Titrate against Hcl solution to end point
(red-orange). Repeat the test until two readings agree within 0.02 ml and
calculate the molarity of Hcl from the following equation:
Hcl Molarity =
2 x Molarity of Na2CO3 x Volume of Na2CO3

-------------------------------------------------Volume of Hcl
4.4
Titration of Hcl solution against the solution of sample and mix well.
4.4.1
Preparation of the sample solution

Weigh accurately 1.5 g of the sodium bicarbonate powder and transfer with
water to a 250 ml graduated flask, then complete to the mark with distilled
water and mix well.
4.4.2
Titration
Pipette 25 ml of the sodium bicarbonate solution into a 250 ml conical flask.
Add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate with shaking against
Hcl to the end point. Read the volume of Hcl (V1) which is equivalent to half
the carbonate content according to the following reaction.
Hcl + Na2CO3 = NaCL + NaHCO3
Add two drops of methyl-orange indicator to the same solution and continue
the titration with continuous shaking until the end point; read the volume of
Hcl (V2) which is equivalent to the bicarbonate content and half the carbonate
content. Repeat the test until two readings agree within 0.02 ml.

Calculations
The molarity of carbonate (MCO 3 ) and bicarbonate (MHCO 3 ) are
calculated as follows
MCO3-2
MHCO3-1
2 V1 x MHCL x 1
-------------------------2 x 25
(V2 - V1) x MHCL x 1

= -------------------------------1 x 25
The masses of each of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 are calculated as follows:
Mass of Na2CO3
1 x MHCL x 2 V1 x 106
= -----------------------------------2 x 25
1 x MHCL x (V2 - V1) x 84

Mass of NaHCO3 = ---------------------------------------1 x 25
The contents of each of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 are then calculated as follows:
5-
Content of Na2CO3, % by mass =
1 x 2 V1 x MHCL x 106 x 100

-------------------------------------50 x Weight of Sample
Content of NaHCO3, % by mass =
1 x (V2-V1) x MHCL x 84 x 100

---------------------------------------25 x Weight of Sample
DETERMINATION OF THE CONTENT OF MATTER INSOLUBLE IN

WATER
The insoluble matter content shall be determined as follows:
Content of matter insoluble in water, % by mass =
(Weight of Sample - Weight of Na2CO3 and NaHCo3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------Weight of Sample
