a)
i. A suitable indicator for the titration of a strong acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) with a weak base (Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3) is one that changes color in the acidic pH range.

Methyl orange\boxed{\text{Methyl orange}}

ii. State the colour of your chosen indicator:
I. In the base:

Yellow\boxed{\text{Yellow}}

II. At the end point during titration:

Orange\boxed{\text{Orange}}

iii. Why was the indicator used?
The indicator was used to visually determine the end point of the titration. Methyl orange is suitable because its color change range (pH 3.1-4.4) matches the acidic pH at which the equivalence point of a strong acid-weak base titration occurs.
