Titration

3.0g of a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium chloride was made up to 250cm3 of solution. 25.0cm3 of this solution required 21.0cm3 of 0.10M HCL for neutralisation. Calculate the percentage by madd of sodium chloride in the mixture. You may assume that there is no reaction between sodium chloride and HCL.

Help please :smile:

When I approached the question, I noticed that Sodium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate do not react so I don't see how you could even begin the calculate the answer. I have done other titrations but I fail to see how this one is possible which is why I am requesting help :smile:

If you carry on reading the question you will see that hydrochloric acid is added. Does that make it any easier for you?
