An acid base indicator hasKa=3×10-5. The acid form of the indicator is red and the basic form is blue. By how much must the pH change in order to change the indicator from 75% red to 75% blue (log 3=0.4770)

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

pH change=pH of 75 % blue – pH of 75% red
=  pKa + log 75 25 − pKa + log 25 75
=log3+log3
pH=0.954
