Acid base indicators are either weak organic acids or weak organic bases. Indicator change colour in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenopthalein is a colour less substance in any aqueous solution with a pH less than `8.3` in between the pH range `8.3` to `10`, transaction of colour (colourless to pink) takes place and if pH of solution is greater than `10`, then solution colour is dark pin. Considering an acid indicator HIn, base `In^(-)` can be represented as : `HIn hArr H^(+) + In^(-)` acidic form basic form pH of solution can be computed as : `pH = pK_(In) + "log" ([In^(-)])/([HIn])` In general, transition of colour takes place in between the pH range `pK_(In) +-1` An indicator is a weak acid and pH range is `4.0` to `6.0`. If indicator is `50%` ionized in a given solution then what is ionization consatant of the acid?A. `10^(-4)`B. `10^(-5)`C. `10^(-6)`D. `10^(-7)`
