Question

For a standard acid-base indicator $HIn$, the visual working range where the color transition is fully observed is defined by the equation:

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

The human eye needs one form to be 10 times more concentrated than the other. From the indicator equation $pH = pK_{In} + \log([In^-]/[HIn])$, bounding ratios of 1/10 to 10/1 gives $pH = pK_{In} \pm 1$.
