ABSTRACT
The presence of carbonates in solution of an unknown sample is determined through
the valuation with strong acid, by means of two successive points of equivalence,
using a combined indicator of phenolphthalein and methyl orange that allows the
identification of these; obtaining that the test sample contained sodium carbonate
Na2CO3 and sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 (discarding the presence of hydroxide),
with a mass amount of: 0.17 g and 0.369 g respectively.
Key words: Carbonate, bicarbonate, strong acid, alkalinity, equivalence points.
THEORETICAL:
CARBONATES carbonate. If Heliantina (Orange or
Alkaline mixtures are those formed by Methyl Orange) is added to the
compatible combinations of soda, colorless solution and it is evaluated,
carbonate and acid carbonate. These the change from Yellow to Red will

determination is of great interest.
The carbonate and the acid carbonate
(bicarbonate or hydrogencarbonate)
belong to the acid-base system:
hidróxido de sodio X X
RESULTS ANALYSIS
As the amount spent in the second equivalence is greater, it is assumed that the
compounds obtained in the sample are: sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
It was determined that the mass amount of the compounds present in solution is
0.17 g and 0.369 g for sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, respectively.
