Question:medium

The best indicator for titrating 0.1 N Na2CO3 against 0.1 N HCl is:

Show Hint

When titrating a weak base with a strong acid, the equivalence point occurs at a pH less than 7 (acidic). Therefore, an indicator that changes color in the acidic pH range, such as methyl orange, is suitable. For $\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3$ titration, there are two distinct equivalence points; methyl orange is used for the complete neutralization.
