Read the following description of a method for making sodium sulfate crystals, and then explain the reasons for each of the underlined phrases or sentences. 25cm3 of sodium carbonate solution was transferred to a conical flask using a pipette, and a few drops of methyl orange were added. Dilute sulfuric acid was run in from a burette until the solution became orange. The volume of acid added was noted. That same volume of dilute sulfuric acid was added to a fresh 25cm3 sample of sodium carbonate in a clean flask, but without the methyl orange. The mixture was evaporated until a sample taken on the end of a glass rod crystallised on cooling in the air. The solution was left to cool. The crystals formed were separated from the remaining solution and dried. Write the equation for the reaction producing sodium sulfate solution
