Acid Base Indicators

Indicators • Organic dye of weak acid/weak base with pKa/pKb value • Detect equivalence point in titration • HIn as indicator have 2 different colours in acidic/alkaline medium

HIn ↔ H+ + In-

(red) (blue)

HIn ↔ H+ + In- • (H+ ions ↑) - Equilibrium shift to left • More [HIn ] → red , [HIn] > [In-]

HIn ↔ H+ + In- (H+ ions ↓) - Equilibrium shift to right More [In- ] → blue, [In-] > [HIn]

• Indicators change colour at its pKa but it cannot be detected by our eyes • pH range – Indicator changes colour over a range of pH • Methyl orange, pKa is 3.46 but change colour in the range of pH (3.2-4.4) • pH range (pH = pKa ±1) seen by our eye • Indicator must only change colour at equivalence point • End point of indicator must correspond/coincide with equivalence point • Colour change must occur rapidly at equivalence point • Indicator usually change colour over a region of 2 pH units centered on pKa

Indicator change colour at its pKa

Indicator do not change colour at pH 7

[AI(H2O)6]3+CI3

AI

• 6 H2O attract to Fe3+ ion

• Lone pair on Oxygen act as a ligand • Ligand attract to Fe3+

• Form dative bond

• 6 H2O attract to AI3+ ion

• Lone pair on Oxygen act as a ligand • Ligand attract to AI3+

• Form dative bond

Polarise water/water hydrolysis to produce H+ ions
