This requires a bit of background knowledge of indicators and how they work. An indicator like methyl orange is just a weak acid that forms an equilibrium (and doesn't fully dissociate). The acid and the dissociated negative ion differ in color, and so when you add an acid or base (dissociated H+ or OH- ions), the equilibrium shifts and you get the color change.

Now, for titration, we use the point the color changes to find our equivalence point. The point in methyl orange that changes color is when there are equal amounts of the non-dissociated acid and the negative ion. If you are familiar with the Henderson-Hasselbach equations, this happens when the pH of the solution is equal to the pKa of the solution, which for methyl orange is 3.7. The human eye notices the color change in the range 3.1–4.4.

Now, for a titration, we need to see when the equivalence point has been reached. This means the indicator should change color at the equivalence point. For a strong acid strong base reaction, the pH at equivalence is 7, which is outside of the pH range of methyl orange, which means when equivalence point has been reached, methyl orange won't change color, and we won't know. That's why we can use methyl orange as the indicator for the titration.

I assumed some previous knowledge of acids and bases, and equilibria. If there's something you aren't sure about, feel free to comment and I'll try my best to explain it more thoroughly.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

\Delta E = 434253.96\,J, \Delta P = 60.313\,W

Explanation:

The change in energy is given by the change in gravitational potential energy:

\Delta E = m\cdot g \cdot \Delta h

\Delta E = (82\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (540\,m)

\Delta E = 434253.96\,J

The average rate of change in terms of time is approximately this:

\Delta P = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}

\Delta P = \frac{434253.96\,J}{(2\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )}

\Delta P = 60.313\,W

Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate, or velocity, of the reaction is proportional to the product o
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

30.6 g of C is formed.

Explanation:

2A + B → C

Average rate of reaction = 2[A]/Δt = [B]/Δt = [C]/Δt

Average rate of reaction = [C]/Δt

Average rate of reaction  = 15 g / 9 min

Average rate of reaction  = 1.7 g of C / min

Average rate of reaction = [C]/Δt

[C] = Average rate of reaction x Δt

[C] = 1.7 g of C / min x 18 min

[C] = 30.6 g of C
