If 10 mL of H2SO4 is mixed with 10 mL of Mg(OH)2 of the same concentration, the resultant solution will give the following colour with universal indicator :

(A) Red (B) Yellow

(C) Green (D) Blue


Correct Answer: (C) Green  

Explanation: If 10 mL of H2SO4 is mixed with 10 mL of Mg(OH)2 of the same concentration, the resultant solution will give pH of 7 as it is a strong acid- strong base titration. The given equation is $H_2SO_4 + Mg(OH)_2 \rightarrow MgSO_4 + 2 H_2O$.

As we know, pH 7 gives green color in the universal indicator, hence, (c) is the correct option.
