Chapter U6.7, Problem 8E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equilibrium constant for the dissociation of methyl violet needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The color change for an indicator occurs when the H+ ion concentration is equal to K. This happens when the concentration of HIn molecules is equal to the concentration of the In ions.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 8E

Equilibrium constant for the dissociation of methyl violet is 101 .

Explanation of Solution

Color changes for an indicator is occurs if H+ ion concentration is equal to constant K.

pH is the negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration. Given, pH is 1. Therefore,

  pH=1log[H+]=1[H+]=101

Since, [H+]=K

Therefore, K value is 101 .

Conclusion

Equilibrium constant for the dissociation of methyl violet is 101 .
