E. Acid Base Indicators An acid base indicator is a substance whose color changes according to the ph of the solution. They are often weak acids where the ionized and the unionized form have different colors. HIn (aq) H + (aq) + In - (aq) COLOUR 1 COLOUR 2 This equilibrium will be disturbed by the addition of H + (aq) ions or OH - (aq) ions. For example a high concentration of H + (aq) ions (acid solution) will shift the equilibrium to the LHS giving COLOUR 1. In practice the indicator will change color over a small given range of ph. Examples Indicat or ph 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Methyl orange R R R R * * Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Methyl red R R R R R * * Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Litmus R R R R R R * * B B B B B B Phenolphthalein C C C C C C C C * * R R R R Thymolphthalein C C C C C C C C C C * * B B Where R = RED, B = BLUE, Y = YELLOW, C = COLOURLESS, * = the ph range where the color change takes place.
