asked 08/21/20A solution contains both NaHCO3 and Na2CO3. Titration of a 50.00 mL portion to a phenolphthalein end point requires 21.98 mL of 0.1113 M HCl. A second 50.00 mL aliquot requires 46.96 mL of the HCl solution when titrated to a bromocresol green end point. Calculate the molar concentration of NaHCO3 in the solution. (Do not include the unit for molarity. Enter your answer to three significant figures.)

The first titration endpoint indicates the moles of Na2C03 that are converted to NaHCO3 which is .00244637.
The second will give both NaHCO3 and Na2CO3. converted to H2CO3 which is .00555721, so the difference will be the moles of NaHCO3 in the original solution. using the original volume of .050 L the answer is : 0.0622 M

This is incorrect since the difference will be the moles of NaHCO3 that come from the Na2CO3 + the moles of NaHCO3 originally in the solution.08/21/20
