An alkaline sample of sodium compounds weighing 1.196 g was dissolved in water, cooled at 15 deg C, treated with 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrated with 1.058 N H2SO4 requiring 6.8 mL to render the solution colorless. Upon adding 2 drops of methyl orange and continuing the titration 16.5 mL more of the acid was needed to complete analysis. What is the quantitative composition of the sample?
