Explanation The pH of the solution is 4.68 . The general equation for dissociation of a weak acidic indicator is, HIn ( a q ) ⇌ H + ( a q ) + In − ( a q ) The concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution is calculated by the formula, [ H + ] = 10 ( − pH ) Where, [ H + ] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. Substitute the value of pH in the above formula. [ H + ] = 10 ( − 4.68 ) = 2.09 × 10 − 5 M The acid dissociation constant for the indicator is calculated by the formula, K a = [ H + ] [ In − ] [ HIn ] Where, K a is the dissociation constant for the indicator
