Q

Universal indicator is an indicator commonly used in the laboratory. At a pH of 6 it is pale yellow and at
a pH of 4 it is pale orange. If the indicator was orange, which statement would be definitely true?

(a) The solution is probably acidic.
(b) The pH is between 4 and 5.
(c) The solution is probably basic.
(d) The pH is less than 5.0.

A

. (b) The pH is between 4 and 5.

17
Q

Alizarin Yellow R is an indicator that changes color in the pH range from 10.1 to 12.0. Below 10.1 the
color is Yellow, above 12.0 the color is red. If the color of the solution containing Alizarin Yellow R was orange,
which statement about the solution would be true?

(a) The pH is below 10.
(b) The pH is above 12.0.
(c) The solution is definitely acidic.
(d) The pH is between 10.1 and 12.0.

A

(d) The pH is between 10.1 and 12.0.

18
Q

If the pH of the solution is 8.9, what would be the color of the solution if the following indicators were
added?

(a) Universal indicator
(b) Thymol blue
(c) Methyl blue

A

. (a) Universal indicator = dark green
(b) Thymol blue = green (midway pH = 8.8)
(c) Methyl blue = blue

19
Q

A solution has been found in the laboratory that was tested with a number of indicators. It was found that
the following indicators showed these results:

(a) Phenolphthalein was colorless
(b) Orange IV was yellow
(c) Universal indicator was orange
(d) Methyl orange was red
What was the pH of the solution?

A

(a) Phenolphthalein was colorless, pH < 8.0
(b) Orange IV was yellow, pH > 3.0
(c) Universal indicator was orange, pH = 3-4
(d) Methyl orange was red, pH < 3.2
Therefore the pH of the solution must be between 3.0 and 3.2, should be pH = 3.1
