Question:
The indicator methyl red has a pKHIn = 4.95. It changes from red to yellow over the pH range from 4.4 to 6.2.
(a) If the indicator is placed in a buffer solution of pH = 4.55, what percent of the indicator will be present in the acid form, HIn, and what percent will be present in the base or anion form, In-?
(b) Which form of the indicator has the “stronger” (that is, more visible) color—the acid (red) form or base (yellow) form? Explain.
