  1. turn blue litmus red

  2. turn phenolphthalein solution pink

  3. turn methyl orange red

  4. will have no effect on red or blue litmus paper

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The final solution is strongly basic. Phenolphthalein is an indicator used in acid-base reactions which turns pink in basic solution. Therefore, phenolphthalein turns pink. 

From the following in which titration methyl orange is a best indicator?

  1. Litmus

  2. Phenolphthalein

  3. Methyl red

  4. Methyl orange

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phenolphthalein works in $pH$ range of $8.3-10.0$

Methyl Red works in $pH$ range of $4.4-6.5$
Methyl Orange works in $pH$ range of $3.2-4.5$

For the titration between oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide, the indicator used is

  1. Potassium permanganate

  2. Phenolphthalein

  3. Litmus

  4. Methyl orange

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oxalic acid is titrated against NaOH. Phenolphthalein is chosen because it changes color in a pH range between 8 – 10. It appears pink in basic solutions and colourless in acidic solutions.

In the case of a strong acid-strong base titration, this pH transition would take place within a fraction of a drop of actual neutralization, since the strength of the base is high.

Select the best indicator from the given table for titration of $20\space mL$ of $0.02\space M\space CH _3COOH$ with $0.02\space M\space NaOH$. Given $pK _a\ \text{of}\ CH _3COOH= 4.74)$

(II) Thymolphathalein $9.3 - 10.5$
(III) Malachite green $11.4 - 13$
(IV) M-Cresol purple $7.4 - 9.0$

  1. $(I)$

  2. $(II)$

  3. $(III)$

  4. $(IV)$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since $pH=\left( SW+WA \right) =7+1/2\left( pKa+logC \right) $    {at equilance pointer}

             $C=0.01$  after mixing
  $\therefore \quad pH=7+1/2\left( 4.74+log0.01 \right) $
  $\therefore \quad pH=8.37$
So, it lies in range of $(IV)$ and somenehat of $(II)$

Assertion: In general, phenolphthalein is used as an indicator for the titration of weak acid (HA) against strong base (NaOH).
Reason: At equivalent point, solution is basic.

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is not correct


  4. Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct

  5. Both Assertion and Reason are not correct

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The phenolphthalein  indicator changes color over pH range 8.0 to 9.8.
During titration of weak acid (HA) against strong base (NaOH), at equivalence point complete neutralization occurs and a salt NA of weak acid (HA) with strong base (NaOH) is obtained.
The hydrolysis of this salt gives alkaline solution in the pH range 8.0 to 9.8.
Hence, in general phenolphthalein is used as an indicator for the titration of weak acid (HA) against strong base (NaOH).
