Name Kimberly Amendolare Experiment 15 Indicator colors I. Solution Thymol Blue Methyl Orange Methyl Red Bromthymol Blue 0.10 M HCl Color Orange Pink/Red Pink/Red Yellow pH Range 0-1.2 0-3.1 0-4.2 0-6.0 Conclusion(1) According to the indicator's color results, I can narrow the pH range down to 1-1.2. The pH region that Thymol blue is most sensitive at is between 1.2-2.8, hence the orange color, which in addition to the average pH shown in the data, I can round the pH being at about 1.2, which would make it a Strong acid, as its extremely acidic. 0.10 M H 3 PO 4 Color Orange Pink/Red Pink/Red Yellow pH Range 1.2-2.8 0-3.1 0-4.2 0-6.0 Conclusion The Thymol blue was also orange with this acid, while the other indicators were either pink/red or yellow, indicating the acid didn’t fall within their most sensitive ranges, only thymol blue did, which narrows the pH down to 1.2-2.8. If we pair that with the data given, we can estimate the pH is around 1.5-2. This pH makes it quite acidic, which makes it a strong acid. 0.10 M HC 2 H 3 O 2 Color Orange Pink/Red Pink/Red Yellow pH Range 1.2-2.8 0-3.1 0-4.2 0-6.0 Conclusion Once again, I can conclude that the acid is a strong acid. The Thymol blue is once again orange, indicating the pH of the acid falls within its sensitive range of 1.2-2.8, while the acid doesn’t fall within the sensitive range of the other indicators, and using the averages from the data, I can narrow the pH down to about 2.3-2.5. 0.10 M NaH 2 PO 4 Color Yellow Yellow Orange Yellow pH Range 2.8-8.0 4.6-14 4.2-6.3 0-6.0 Conclusion With this acid, the Methyl Red gives an Orange color, rounding the pH down to the sensitive range of the indicator, which is 4.2-6.3. Using the averages from the data provided, I can acquire an estimate of the pH being around 4.7, which too makes this acid a Strong acid. 0.10 M Zn(NO 3 ) 2 Color Yellow Yellow Orange Green pH Range 2.8-8.0 4.5-14 4.2-6.3 6.0-7.6 Conclusion The Bromthymol Blue turns green with this acid while the Methyl Red turns orange. These colors suggest that the acid falls between both of their sensitive ranges. However, the overlap of their sensitive ranges is only between a pH of 6-6.3. This makes me conclude that the acids pH can be narrowed to about 6-6.2, which correlates with the data, and makes it a strong acid, though it is less strong than the previous acids. 0.10 M NH 4 NO 3 Color Yellow Yellow Orange Yellow pH Range 2.8-8.0 4.5-14 4.2-6.3 Conclusion The Methyl Red turns Orange as an indicator with this acids, which leads me to conclude its pH range falls within the 4.2-6.3 range, which can be further narrowed by averaging the data, which means the pH falls at about 5.3-5.5, making it also a Strong Acid. Tap Water Color Yellow Yellow Yellow Green. pH Range 2.8-8.0 4.5-14 6.3-14 6-7.6 1
Conclusion The Tap water seems to be near neutral as the Bromothymol Blue is Green, which means it falls within the range of 6-7.6. This can be further narrowed down by averaging the data, making the pH about 7.2, which is about neutral, or very slightly basic. Distilled Water Color Yellow Yellow Yellow Green pH Range 2.8-8.0 4.5-14 6.3-14 6-7.6 Conclusion The distilled water made the Bromothymol Blue turn green like the tap water is, while all the other indicators turned yellow suggesting the water doesn’t fall within their sensitive ranges. Pairing the average data with the pH range of 6-7.6 from the sensitive range of the Bromothymol Blue, narrowing the pH down to about 7, which is neutral. (1) Conclusion is analyzing the four indictor colors for each acid to find the narrowest pH range. Record conclusion on Results page (281). pH from the ph paper one is indicator one is ph from ph meter Middle colum for the color II. Sample analysis for pH using indicator colors Sample Acid yellow yellow yellow blue Analysis of a hypothetical sample acid from colors on Figure D.1 p460 Wentworth 11E. Indicator Indicator Color Analysis Thymol Blue yellow 2.8 < pH < 8.0 Methyl Orange yellow 4.5 < pH < 8.0 Methyl Red yellow 6.3 < pH < 8.0 Bromthymol Blue blue 7.6 < pH < 8.0 Write conclusion, 7.6 < pH < 8.0, in pH from Indicators column on Results page 2
Determine the relative acidity of weak, strong acids and tap water and carbonated water) Use pH meter, pH strips, and pH indicators (which are only dyes that are sensitive to acidic or basic pH’s: thymol blue, methyl orange, Bromothyml blue) to measure their relative acidity. Different pH strips measure different pH types, so you must. Determine what range type of strips to use first or it wont accurately elect the pH. 3
