a. Methyl Yellow (pKa=3.50) changes from red to yellow

b. Methyl red (pKa=5.00) changes from red to yellow

c. Bromophenol Blue (pKa=4.10) changes from yellow to blue

d. Bromocresol green (pKa=4.70) changes from yellow to green

e. Neutral Red (pKa=7.00) changes from red to yellow

f. Bromothymol blue (pKa=7.30) changes from yellow to blue

g. Phenol red (pKa=8.00) changes from yellow to red

h. Phenolphthalein (pKa=9.50) changes from colorless to pink

i. indigo carmine (pKa=12.00) changes from blue to yellow

j. Malachite Green (pKa=12.60) changes from green to colorless
