QuestionIonic equilibrium / indicators

In acid base titration the color change of an indicator is expressed by:
\(pH = pK'_{In} + \log\frac{[In_B]}{[In_A]}\)
(Where \(In_B\) = Indicator in the basic form, \(In_A\) = indicator in acid form)
The basic color of the indicator would be visible when:

  1. (a) \([In_B]/[In_A] > 10\)
  2. (b) \([In_B]/[In_A] < 10\)
  3. (c) \([In_A]/[In_B] > 10\)
  4. (d) \([In_B] = [In_A]\)
