Question
The indicator, HIn is used in a titration between an acid and base. Which statement about the dissociation of the indicator, HIn is correct?
\[{\text{HIn(aq)}} \rightleftharpoons {{\text{H}}^ + }{\text{(aq)}} + {\text{I}}{{\text{n}}^ - }{\text{(aq)}}\]
colour A colour B
A. In a strongly alkaline solution, colour B would be observed.
B. In a strongly acidic solution, colour B would be observed.
C. \({\text{[I}}{{\text{n}}^ - }{\text{]}}\) is greater than [HIn] at the equivalence point.
D. In a weakly acidic solution colour B would be observed.
