4. a) methyl red, as it will change colour completely within the pH range (4 –


7), over which the equivalence point occurs
b) both, as they will both change colour completely within the pH range (4 –
10), over which the equivalence point occurs
c) phenolphthalein, as it will change colour completely within the pH range
(7 – 10), over which the equivalence point occurs
d) neither, as there is no sharp pH change at the equivalence point of this
titration, so indicators will not change colour sharply
