Question

### Testing the pH of a Weak Acid Solution

A solution of a weak acid was tested using several indicators. The colors observed for each indicator are noted below:

- **Methyl Violet**: violet
- **Thymol Blue**: yellow
- **Methyl Yellow**: yellow
- **Congo Red**: orange-red
- **Bromcresol Green**: blue

#### Question:
What is the approximate pH of the solution based on these observations?

#### Options:
- ○ 1 to 2
- ○ 2 to 3
- ○ 3 to 4
- ○ 4 to 5
- ○ 5 to 6

Use the above information and color changes to determine the most likely pH range of the solution.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Select one: A solution with a pOH of 4 is basic. It is not possible to have a pH outside the range 0 - 14. A 1 M solution of HCl will have a higher pH than a 1 M solution of HF. Carbonic acid (Ka = 4.3 × 10-7) is a stronger acid than oxalic acid (Ka = 5.9 × 10-2). Basic solutions don't contain any H3O+ ions.

Phenolphthalein is another pH indicator. In solution, it's colorless, but its ion is fuchsia. Ionization changes the compound's color. It is colorless between pH of 1 and 8.2, fuchsia between 8.3 and 10, and colorless above 10. At pH less than 1, the color turns orange-red, as in sulfuric acid. However, not all strong acids will exhibit this color. What are the chemical equations that show the color change of dropping Phenolphthalein to NaOH, KOH, and a very acidic solution from: NaOH and KOH Colorless to Fuchsia Fuchsia to Colorless Very acidic solution Colorless to red-orange *As much as possible, please do provide references/sources.
