Consider a pH titration curve at 298 K for 50 mL of 0.10 M hypobromous acid, HBrO (Ka = 2.8 x 10−9), titrated with 0.10 M KOH solution. a. What volume of KOH is needed to reach the half-equivalence point? b. Calculate the pH of the HBrO sample at the half-equivalence point. c. Calculate the equivalence point pH.  d. Identify a satisfactory pH indicator for the equivalence point. The pH range of colour change is indicated in parentheses. A) Methyl orange (3.0 - 4.3)  B) Bromocresol purple (5.0 - 6.5)  C) Alizarin yellow R (10.0 - 12.0)  D) Methyl red (4.2 - 6.2)
