Which indicator would be the best to use for a titration between 0.20 m hi with 0.10 m ba(oh)2? you will probably need to consult the appropriate table in the book?

The indicator that is used for the endpoint at 7 is .

Further Explanation:

Neutralization reaction:

It is the reaction that occurs between an acid and a base in order to form salt and water. It is named so as it neutralizes the excess amount of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. It is used to decrease the acidity in the stomach, wastewater treatment, antacid tablets, and to control the pH of soil. An example of a neutralization reaction is,

The indicator is generally a weak acid or weak base that is utilized to determine the change of the solution. An indicator when dissolved in water dissociates into the ions and  give color. Acid-base indicators are used in neutralization reaction.

The titration between HI and would result in the following neutralization reaction.

According to the balance reaction, 2 moles of HI is needed to completely neutralize 1 mole of .

When the volume of solution is 1 L then the number of moles of HI in 0.20 M solution is 0.20 mol. Also, the number of moles of present in 0.10 M is 0.10 mol.

Since 1 mole of can completely neutralized 2 moles of HI and give 1 mole of , therefore, for 0.10 moles of  is completely neutralize 0.20 moles of HI and give 0.10 moles of . Since it is neutralization reaction and thus the final  of the solution is 7.

Therefore, the indicator that is used for the endpoint at 7 is bromothymol blue that has a range from pH 6.0 to 7.6.
