Acid Base Indicators

Indicators • Organic dye of weak acid/weak base with pKa/pKb value • Detect equivalence point in titration • HIn as indicator have 2 different colours in acidic/alkaline medium

HIn ↔ H+ + In-

(red) (blue)

HIn ↔ H+ + In- • (H+ ions ↑) - Equilibrium shift to left • More [HIn ] → red , [HIn] > [In-]

HIn ↔ H+ + In- (H+ ions ↓) - Equilibrium shift to right More [In- ] → blue, [In-] > [HIn]

• Indicators change colour at its pKa but it cannot be detected by our eyes • pH range – Indicator changes colour over a range of pH • Methyl orange, pKa is 3.46 but change colour in the range of pH (3.2-4.4) • pH range (pH = pKa ±1) seen by our eye • Indicator must only change colour at equivalence point • End point of indicator must correspond/coincide with equivalence point • Colour change must occur rapidly at equivalence point • Indicator usually change colour over a region of 2 pH units centered on pKa

Indicator change colour at its pKa

Indicator do not change colour at pH 7

Salts of Transition Metal ions

Transition metal ions: • SIZE and CHARGE of cation • High charge density – Ni2+, Cu2+,Fe3+, Al3+

• Small size ion – Ni2+, Cu2+,Fe3+, Al3+

[AI(H2O)6]3+CI3

AI

• 6 H2O attract to Fe3+ ion

• Lone pair on Oxygen act as a ligand • Ligand attract to Fe3+

• Form dative bond

• 6 H2O attract to AI3+ ion

• Lone pair on Oxygen act as a ligand • Ligand attract to AI3+

• Form dative bond

Polarise water/water hydrolysis to produce H+ ions

[Fe(H2O)6]3+ → (H2O)5Fe3+ ← :O―H+ → [(H2O)5FeOH]2+ + H+

H Water hydrolysis

Hydrogen ion produced

NH4OH + HCI → NH4CI + H2O

NH4OH + H2SO4 → NH4SO4+ H2O NH4OH + HNO3 → NH4NO3 + H2O
