A simplified undergraduate laboratory experiment to evaluate the effect of the ionic strength on the equilibrium concentration quotient of the bromcresol green dye
A modified laboratory experiment for undergraduate students is presented to evaluate the effects of the ionic strength, I, on the equilibrium concentration quotient, K c, of the acid-base indicator bromcresol green (BCG). The two-step deprotonation of the acidic form of the dye (sultone form), as it...
