NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3eq040

In the titration of aqueous against aqueous ammonia (strong acid with weak base), the most suitable indicator is:

  1. Aphenolphthalein
  2. Bstarch
  3. Cmethyl orange
  4. Dpotassium chromate

Answer: C

The equivalence point lies in the acidic range because is a weak acid. Methyl orange changes colour at about pH to , whereas phenolphthalein ( to ) would change far too late.
