Aniline, is a weak base with kb of 7. 4 × 10-10. Which indicator would be the most appropriate to titrate an aqueous solution of aniline?.

Answer :

The most appropriate indicator for titrating aqueous aniline solutions is methyl red with a pH of 5.87.

Aniline (a weak base) when titrated with a strong acid will neutralize at a pH of less than 7.

The reaction will be

                               B + H⁺ → BH⁺ + Cl⁻

BH+ will hydrolyze as:

                               BH⁺+ H₂O ⇄ B + H₃O⁺

Ka conjugate acid aniline = 10⁻¹⁴/7.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ = 1.35 x 10⁻⁵

pKa = 4.87

Probable pH at the equivalence point = 4.87 + 1.00 = 5.87

The most appropriate indicator is methyl red with a pH equivalent point of 5–6.
