A base type indicator B differs in colou...

A base type indicator `B` differs in colour from its conjugate acid.`(BH^(+))` .Acidic form is red in colour while basic form is blue in colour. Human eye can sense blue colour distincity when ratio of blue form concentration to red form cocnentration is `(a)/(b)`. or more.However ,red colour can be sensed by human eye distinctly when ratio of red form concentration of blue form concentration is `(c)/(d)` or more. Determine the `pH` range of solution in which human eyes will be unable to observe distinct red or distinctly blue colour.Take ionisation of `B` as `K_(eq)`.

To determine the pH range in which the human eye will be unable to observe distinct red or blue colors of the indicator B, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Color Change and Ratios The indicator B has two forms: - Acidic form (BH⁺) - red color - Basic form (B) - blue color The human eye can distinctly see: ...
