Calculate the `pH` at which an acid indicator with `K_(a) = 1.0 xx 10^(-5)` changes colour when the indicator is `1.00 xx 10^(-3)M`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The midpoint of the colour change range of an idicator is the point at which its acid and conjugate base forms are present in equal concentration, hence
`K_(ind) = ([H_(3)O^(o+)][Ind^( Θ)])/([HIn]) =[H_(3)O^(o+)] = 1.0 xx 10^(-5)` and `pH = 5.00`
