2. Indicators are typically weak acids and the equilibrium can be described as follows: HInd + H:0 H;0* + Ind AH = -2 kJ/mol Assume that Hind is red in color and Ind" is blue in color. a) If a solution is purple (equal concentrations of the two species), what color will the solution tum when some N2OH or other strong base is added to the solution? Explain in terms of the Le Chatelier's principle. b) If a solution is purple (equal concentrations of the two species), what color will the solution tum when the system is cooled in an ice bath? Explain in terms of the Le Chatelier's principle.

Question
2. Indicators are typically weak acids and the equilibrium can be described as follows:
HInd + H:0 H;0* + Ind
AH = -2 kJ/mol
Assume that Hind is red in color and Ind" is blue in color.
a) If a solution is purple (equal concentrations of the two species), what color will the solution tum when some
N2OH or other strong base is added to the solution? Explain in terms of the Le Chatelier's principle.
b) If a solution is purple (equal concentrations of the two species), what color will the solution tum when the
system is cooled in an ice bath? Explain in terms of the Le Chatelier's principle.
