Consider the following reaction: The product ' X ' is used:
Options
- Ain protein estimation as an alternative to ninhydrin
- Bin acid base titration as an indicator
- Cas food grade colourant
- Din laboratory test for phenols
Correct answer
B. in acid base titration as an indicator
Step-by-step solution
Methyl orange is used as indicator in acid base titration. Azo coupling is the most widely used industrial reaction in the production of dyes, lakes and pigments. Aromatic diazonium ions acts as electrophiles in coupling reactions with activated aromatics such as anilines or phenols.
