An alkali is titrated against an acid with methyl orange as indicator. Which of the following is a correct combination-

Answer»

Base-WEAK, Acid-Strong, End point- Colourless to pink
Base-Strong, Acid-Strong, End point-Pinkish RED to yellow
Base-Weak , Acid-Strong, End point-Yellow to pinkish red
Base-Strong, Acid-Strong, End point-Pink to colourless

Solution :The pH range for the colour CHANGE of methyl orange is 3.9-4.5. In the titration of weak base vs strong acid. the pH of the end point is less than 7. Thus for this KIND of titration. m ethyl orange is the suitable indicator.
