Base Acid End point
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Methyl orange is weak organic base. It is used in the titration of WB vs SA

In basic medium, equilibrium lies in backward direction and therefore it shows yellow colour.
In acidic medium, equilibrium shifts in forward direction and therefore, colour changes from yellow to red.
