- An acid-base indicator is usually a weak acid with a characteristic color in the protonated and deprotonated forms. Because bromocresol green is an acid, it is convenient to represent its rather complex formula as HBCG. HBCG ionizes in water according to the following equation: HBCG + H2O ⇌ BCG- + H3O+ (yellow) (blue) a. Write the Ka expression for bromocresol green based on the equation above. b. When [BCG-] = [HBCG], then show that the expression simplifies to Ka = [H3O+]. If you know the pH of the solution, then the [H3O+] and Ka can be determined. c.

- 0.06 moles of hydrochloric acid is added to a solution that contains 0.24 mol bromoacetic acid and 0.28 mol of sodium bromoacetate in 0.50 L of solution. The pH of the solution drops only slightly. This is because the hydrochloric acid reacts with the _____ in solution and becomes neutralized. The pKA of bromoacetic acid is 2.86.
