In the titration of aqueous HCl against aqueous ammonia (strong acid with weak base), the most suitable indicator is:
Aphenolphthalein
Bstarch
Cmethyl orange
Dpotassium chromate
Answer: C
The equivalence point lies in the acidic range because NHX4X+ is a weak acid. Methyl orange changes colour at about pH 3 to 4.5, whereas phenolphthalein (8.3 to 10) would change far too late.
