Expert Solution
Step 1

Na2CO3 or CO32-(aq) is a diacidic base with pKa values 6.37 and 10.32.

Hence there will be two equivalence points. 

The neutralization reactions are:

CO32-(aq) + H+(aq)  HCO3-(aq) (1st equivalence point near pH = 8 and indicated by phenolphthalein indicator)

HCO3-(aq) + H+(aq)  H2CO3(aq) (2nd equivalence point near pH = 3.6 and indicated by bromocresol green)
