If you needed to determine the pH of a solution in order to calculate the exact hydronium ion concentration, would it be more prudent to measure the pH using a natural indicator, such as red cabbage extract, or a digital probe? Explain your answer.

Two very common indicators are litmus, usually used on paper, and phenolphthalein, the most common indicator in acid-base titrations. Litmus changes from red to blue as the pH of a solution goes from about 6 to about 8. Phenolphthalein changes from colorless to red as the pH goes from 8 to 10. A given indicator is useful for determining pH only in the region in which it changes color. Indicators are available for measure- ment of pH in all the important ranges of acidity and basicity.

Experiment 25 pH Measurements- Buffers and Their Properties ne of the more important propertics of an aqucous solution is its concentration of hydrogen ion. The H ion (or, more precisely, the HO ion) has a great effect on the solubility of many inorganic and organic species, on the nature of complex mctallic cations found in solutions, and on the rales of many chemical reac- tions. It is important that we know how to measure the concentration of hydrogen ion and understand its effect on solution properties. For convenience, the concentration of H' ion is frequendly expressed as the pH of the solution rather than as molarity. The pH of a solution is defined by the following equation: pH =-log where the logarithm is taken to the base 10. If [H] is I x 10-*moles per liter, the pH of the solution is, by the equation, 4. If the [H'1 is 5 x 10 M, the pH is 1.3, Basic solutions can also be described in terms of pH. In aqucous solutions the following equilibrium rela- tion will always be obeyed: In distilled water url equals [ OHÂ·], s, by Equation 2, [HÂ·l must be l x 10" M. Therefore, the pH of distilled water is 7. Solutions in which [H.] > 10é¨are sad to be acidic and will have a pH 7. A solution with a pH of 10 will have a [H"] of 1 x 10 0 M and a (OH] of I x 10M We measure the pH of a solution experimentally in two ways.
