2. A sample of material contains for its active components NaOH, NazCO3, NaHCO3, or compatible mixtures of these. Two samples, each weighing 1.000 g, are dissolved in H20. To one sample phenolphthalein is added and the solution is titrated cold with 1.038 N acid, of which 17.96 mL is required. The other sample is titrated cold, with methyl orange as indicator, and 21.17 mL of the same acid is required. What alkalis are present, and what is the percentage of each in the original sample?
