Which of the following statement(s) is/are false regarding color indicators? Choose all that apply. A color indicator will always change color exactly at the equivalence point of the titration. Color indicators are used in titrations to signal the completion (or neutralization) of an acid-base reaction. A color indicator is most effective over a large pH range. Color indicators are typically weak acids or bases themselves. Color pH indicators are usually complex organic molecules that are weak acids or bases. Which of the following statements seems reasonable given your understanding of this topic? A pH color indicator molecule interacts with light dependent on chemical structure, switching from one structure when protonated (acidic hydrogen attached) to another structure when de-protonated. All pH indicators switch colors at the same pH. When used in a titration, a color indicator is chosen that will switch from one color to another before the equivalence point is reached.

Which of the following statements regarding indicators is false: You need a pH meter to use an indicator Often a weak organic acid Both the acid form and the base form have a color They can be used to determine when the endpoint of an acid-base titration has occurred

Indicate the FALSE statement about pH indicators and their use in titrations: A pH indicator suitable for titrations of strong bases with strong acids cannot be used for titrations of strong acids with strong bases. pH indicators all contain at least one acidic group that can be deprotonated to form a differently colored conjugate base. pH indicators should be used sparingly (in small amounts) as they are weak acids / bases, and thus could affect the volume of titrant used. An indicator should be selected such that its pKHIn value matches the equivalence point pH.
