Chemistry student is using an indicator with a pKa of 4.7 for the titration of a strong acid with strong base. Calculate the pH range at which the indicator will change colors.
Bromophenol blue (pKa = 4.1) is a common acid-base indicator. It is yellow in its acidic form and blue in conjugate base form. If the solution being titrated has a pH = 4.0, what color would the bromophenol blue indicator possess?
