Indicators for Acids and Bases

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table lists the most common indicators together with their pH range and colors in acidic and basic media. Since the color change is not instantaneous at the pKa value, a pH range is given where a combination of colors is present. This pH
