Therefore, The indicator that is best fit for the given titration is Bromocresol Green Color change from pH between 4.0 to 5.6

Bromocresol green, color change from pH = 4.0 to 5.6

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is :

$C_2H_5NH_2_(_a_q_) + H^+_(_a_q_) --- C_2H_5NH_{3(aq)}^+$

concentration of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ = 10%

10 g of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ in 100 ml solution

molar mass = 45.08 g/mol

number of moles = 10 / 45.08

= 0.222 mol

Molarity of $C_2H_5NH_2(aq) = 0.222 \times \frac{1000}{100}mL$

= 2.22 M

number of moles of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ in 20 mL can be determined as:

$= 20 mL \times 2.22 M= 44*10^{-3} mole$

Concentration of $C_2H_5NH_2(aq) = \frac{44*10^{-3}*1000}{20}$

= 2.22 M

Similarly, The pKa Value of $C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)$ is given as 10.75

pKb value will be: 14 - pKa

= 14 - 10.75

= 3.25

the pH value at equivalence point is,

$pH= \frac{1}{2}pKa - \frac{1}{2}pKb-\frac{1}{2}log[C]$

$pH = \frac{14}{2}-\frac{3.25}{2}-\frac{1}{2}log [2.22]$

pH = 5.21

Therefore, The indicator that is best fit for the given titration is Bromocresol Green Color change from pH between 4.0 to 5.6
