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:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Evaluate Statement I:
In redox titrations, indicators (e.g., ferroin, diphenylamine) are sensitive to changes in oxidation potential (redox potential), NOT pH.
Statement I is INCORRECT ✗

Step 2 — Evaluate Statement II:
In acid-base titrations, indicators (e.g., phenolphthalein, methyl orange) are sensitive to changes in pH, NOT oxidation potential.
Statement II is INCORRECT ✗

Conclusion: Both statements have the descriptions swapped — each describes the wrong type of titration.
