JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Sample Paper Topic Test - Ionic Equilibrium

  • question_answer
    Select the best indicator from the given table for titration of 20 mL of \[0.02\,M\,\,C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]  with 0.02 M NaOH. Given \[p{{K}_{a}}\,(C{{H}_{3}}COOH)=4.74\]
    Indicator pH Range
    (I) Bromothy mol blue         6.0-7.6
    (II) Thymolphthalein          9.3-11.05
    (III) Malachite green           11.4-13
    (IV) M-Cresol purple           7.4-9.0

    A) I

    B) II                    

    C) III

    D) IV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] At equivalent point
    \[pH=\frac{1}{2}[p{{K}_{w}}+p{{K}_{a}}+\log \,C]\]
    \[=\frac{1}{2}[14+4.74-2]=8.37\]
    where \[[\text{Salt}]=\frac{\text{milli - moles of acid}}{\text{Total volume}}=\]
    \[\frac{20\times 0.02}{20+20}=0.01\]
    For best indicator pH at equivalent point should be between colour transition range of indicator.
