Question

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

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

Understand the role of indicators in titrations. Acid-base indicators respond to pH changes, while redox indicators respond to oxidation potential changes

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

 To analyze Statements I and II, we need to examine the properties of indicators in redox and acid-base titrations.

1. Statement I: In redox titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in pH of the solution.
2. Statement II: In acid-base titration, the indicators used are sensitive to change in oxidation potential.

Based on the explanations above, the correct conclusion is that both statements are incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is:

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
