Chapter 14, Problem 116CP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The titration curve of ${\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_3$ and $\text{HCl}$ is given. Various questions based on the given curve are to be answered.

Concept introduction: Titration is a quantitative chemical analysis method that is used for the determination of concentration of an unknown solution. In acid base titration, the neutralization of either acid or base is done with a base or acid respectively of known concentration. This helps to determine the unknown concentration of acid or base.

To determine: The size of $V_1$ and $V_2$ when a mixture of ${\text{NaHCO}}_3$ and ${\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_3$ was titrated.
