The correct Answer is:
To determine the pH of the solution based on the colors observed with different indicators, we will analyze each indicator's color change and the corresponding pH range. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Methyl Orange:** - Methyl orange turns yellow when the pH is greater than 4.5. - Therefore, from this observation, we can conclude that the pH of the solution is greater than 4.5. 2. **Analyze Methyl Red:** - Methyl red turns yellow when the pH is greater than 6. - Thus, this indicates that the pH of the solution is also greater than 6. 3. **Analyze Bromothymol Blue:** - Bromothymol blue turns orange when the pH is less than 6.3. - This means that the pH of the solution must be less than 6.3. 4. **Combine the Findings:** - From the analysis of methyl orange and methyl red, we have: - pH > 4.5 (from methyl orange) - pH > 6 (from methyl red) - From the analysis of bromothymol blue, we have: - pH < 6.3 (from bromothymol blue) - Combining these results, we conclude that: - 6 < pH < 6.3 5. **Final Conclusion:** - The pH of the solution lies between 6 and 6.3. ### Answer: The pH of the solution is between 6 and 6.3. ---

Acid-base indicator such as methy 1 orange, phenolphthalein, and bromothymol blue ate substances which change colour accroding to the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution to which they are added. Most indicators are weak acids (or more rarely weak base) in which the undissociated and dissociated forms have different and distinct colours. If methy 1 orange is used as the examples and the un-dissociated forms is written as HMO , then dissociation occurs as shown below: Reaction: {:(HMOhArr,H^(o+)+,MO^(Theta),,),(Red,"Colourless","Yellow",,):} The indicator should have a sharp colour change with the equivalence point of the titration. Usually the colour change of the indicator occurs over a range of about two pH units. It should be noted that the eye cannot detect the exact end point of the tiytration. The pK_(a) of the indicator should be near the pH of the solution at the equivalance point. Which of the following sitution exists at the equivalence point of titration?
