III. Questions
1. Based on the results of this experiment, what indicator would you use for an experiment using
Tris and nitric acid?
2. Consider a titration curve for a weak base and a strong acid. Suppose both phenolphthalein
and bromocresol green are present in the solution. What color changes would occur at pH 10,
pH 7, and pH 3?
3. Students measured the concentration of HCl in a solution by various titrations in which
different indicators were used to find the end point.
