Why do we use methyl orange for the titration of carbonates?

hey mate here is your answer⤵⤵
Methyl orange is one such indicator. When titrating carbonates, which are weak acids, we typically use strong acids. When we use something like phenolphthalein as the end-point indicator, the color change corresponds to the first reaction.
Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titrations because of its clear and distinct colour change. Because it changes colour at the pH of a midstrength acid, it is usually used in titrations for acids.
Hope this will help you✌
