A solution contains both NaHCO3 and Na2CO3. Titration of a 50.00 mL portion to a phenolphthalein end point requires 21.25 mL of 0.1385 M HCl. A second 50.00 mL aliquot requires 45.48 mL of the HCl solution when titrated to a bromocresol green end point. Calculate the molar concentration of Na2CO3 in the original solution. (Do not include the unit for molarity. Enter your answer to three significant figures.)

#10. Calculate the pH of a 1.00 L solution that is 0.250 M in trimethylamine and 0.350M in trimethylammonium chloride. Calculate the pH AFTER 0.100 moles of NaOH are added to the solution in 10. Can you please explain in details?
An analytical chemist is titrating 211.2 mL of a 0.5700M solution of aniline (C6H5NH₂) with a 0.7200M solution of HNO3. The pK, of aniline is 9.37. Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 140.1 mL of the HNO3 solution to it. Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of HNO3 solution added. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. pH = 0 P X S
