discussion for the titration of NaOH and HNO3 by using phenolphthalein & methyl orange indicators
There are several types of titration techniques, including acid-base titration (determining the concentration of an acid or base), redox titration (determining the concentration of oxidizing or reducing agents), complexometric titration (determining the metal ion concentration using a complexing agent), and precipitation titration (determining the concentration of a dissolved substance by precipitating it).
The former is a acid base neutralisation reaction whereas the latter is a redox reaction.
An indicator has a different color in acidic or basic solutions; the nature of complexes formed is different.
They are molecules which change color at a certain pH. You can tell at which pH your solution is by using indicators and matching up their colors. See the Web Links to the left for some examples of indicators (there are many) and at what pH each one changes color.Application of pH indicators:Definition of Titration: Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative/chemical analysis that can be used to determine the concentration of a known reactant.Definition of a Buffer: A mixture that is resistant to change( or in this case to pH change). These are usually made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base.Now that you know what a titration is then lets see what they are used for:* Titrations * BuffersAn indicator in a titration is used to determine the pH of the solution when the reactant and the products are at the equivalence point(when moles of H+ from acid= moles of OH- from base).

because external indicators are weak acids or bases and alcohol itself being a weak acid will react with it if it is used in vessel with them..... hence the titration is done using external indicators....

Indicators are weak acid. Too much will alter the titre
There are various types of titration. It is dependent on the conditions used and the reactants and desired products. Some of them are acid-base titration, redox titration, colorimetric titration and thermometric titration.
A general acid-base titration may not indicate a color change. Therefore an indicator is used. Among the most used indicators are methyl red, methyl orange and bromothymol blue.

Yes you can use methyl red, methyl orange, bromophenol blue and other indicators instead of phenolphthalein in the acid-base titration of NaOH.
In simple words acid base titration is a titration in which acid and base react..
The former is a acid base neutralisation reaction whereas the latter is a redox reaction.
