Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator for the titration of sodium hydroxide solution against a standard solution of oxalic acid. The colour change that is observed at an alkaline pH close to the equivalence point during this titration is:

  • A
    pink to colourless
  • B
    pinkish red to yellow
  • C
    colourless to pink
  • D
    yellow to pinkish red

Which reagent is commonly used in titration to determine the hardness of water?

$10.0 \, mL$ of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ solution is titrated against $0.2 \, M \, HCl$ solution. The following titre values were obtained in $5$ readings.
$4.8 \, mL, 4.9 \, mL, 5.0 \, mL, 5.0 \, mL$ and $5.0 \, mL$
Based on these readings,and convention of titrimetric estimation,the concentration of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ solution is .... $mM$.
