Homework Statement
Bromothymol blue is an acid-base indicator. When in solution, it forms the following equilibrium:
HInd(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + Ind-(aq)
What side of the equilibrium is favored while the solution is in the bromothymol blue bottle?
Homework Equations
Keq = [(C)c(D)d]/[(A)a(B)b]
The Attempt at a Solution
I think the equilibrium favors the reactants because since it is blue, then bromothymol blue is a base so there is small amounts of H+ ions so the K expressions is a small number divided by a bigger number which results in a small number.
Can anyone confirm that my thinking is correct? Thanks!
