Given below are two statements :-
Statement I :- In redox titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in pH of the solution.
Statement II :- In acid-base titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in oxidation potential.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Statement I :- In redox titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in pH of the solution.
Statement II :- In acid-base titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in oxidation potential.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
- (A)Both statement I and statement II are correct.
- (B)Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
- (C)Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- (D)Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
In a redox titration the indicator responds to a change in the oxidation potential of the solution, not to a change in pH, so the first statement is wrong. In an acid\u2013base titration the indicator responds to a change in pH, not to a change in oxidation potential, so the second statement is also wrong. Both statements are incorrect.
