How do pH indicators, for example hydrogencarbonate indicator, work? What determines the colour they change to?
In: 21
Certain chemicals, like bromothymol blue, are one color when protonated (acidified) and a different color in basic solution.
You are seeing yellow when all molecules are acidifed, blue when alkylated, or a mixture of yellow and blue, which appears green, at neutral pH.
