As you remember, indicators are used in chemical reactions known as "titrations"

It is necessary to know what is the range of pH in which those reactions happen, because the range of pH in which each indicator works is different each other.

For example, If point of equivalence of the titration is around the pH range of 8 - 10 the best indicator could be phenolphtalein.

On the other side, if point of equivalence is around pH = 3 - 4, then Methyl Orange will be the right one.

Good luck!
