  1. Which among the following stage is suitable indicator when solution of sodium carbonate is mixed with sulphuric acid ?
    1. Methylene blue
    2. Methyl red
    3. Phenolphthaline
    4. Methyl orange
Correct Option: D

Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titrations. It is often used in titrations because of its clear and distinct colour change. Because it changes colour at the pH of a mid-strength acid, it is usually used in titrations for acids. In a solution becoming less acidic, methyl orange moves from red to orange and finally to yellow with the reverse occurring for a solution increasing in acidity. The entire colour change occurs in acidic conditions. In an acid it is reddish and in alkali it is yellow.
