Indicators are the chemicals that when added to solutions show whether the solution is acidic or basic, by a sudden change of their colour. The common indicators used and the colour changes observed are mentioned belo..

Indicators are substances, which indicate the completion (equivalence point or end point) of a chemical reaction by change in colour. For example, in volumetric analysis, during the titration of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid (taken in the burette), phenolphthalein turns..

. A pH value less than 7 indicates that the solution is acidic, and a pH value greater than 7 indicates that the solution is bas..

Pure water and other neutral solutions have a pH value of 7. A pH value less than 7 indicates that the solution is acidic, and a pH value greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic. How does one monitor these pH changes? By using ..

Universal Indicators - A mixture of several indicators with a wide range of pH is an universal indicator. These are obtained by mixing certain indicators that behave like a single indicator. The changes in colour may occur over a considera..

With ordinary acid-base indicators the, colour change is not sharp and abrupt, but it extends over 2 units of pH. In order to have sharp colour change over a narrow and selected range of pH, a mixture of indicators are used. The pK I n d values of these h..

Acid Base Titrations and Indicators - Titration is an operation for the measurement of quantities of substances in solution by the method of 'volume analysis'. This process involves adding a solution of the reagent of known concentration (standard solution), taken in a burette (called 'ti..

Relation Between the Refractive Indices - According to the principle of reversibility of light, the path of a ray of light is reversible. The figure below shows how light gets refracted from medium 1 to medium ..

We have seen that concept of ionic product of water enables us to classify solutions as acidic, basic or neutral by specifying H 3 O + ion concentration. The pH scale was devised by P.L Sorensen (1909) is defined as negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration in moles per litre. ..
