The rapid change of pH near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the basis of indicator detection. pH of the solution is related to ratio of the concentration of the conjugate acid (HIn) and base(In-)forms of the indicator by the expression

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Let us consider the formation of a salt of a weak acid and a strong base.
In-+H2O⇌HIn+OH-
Kh[HIn][OH-][In-]…(i)
Other equations present in the solution are
HIn⇌H++In-
H2O⇌H++OH-
KIn=[H+][In-][HIn]…(ii)
Kw=[H+][OH-]…(iii)
From (ii) and (iii),
KwKIn[HIn][OH-][In-]=Kh
[OH-]=KwKIn[In-][HIn]
log[OH-]=logKw-logKIn+log[In-][HIn]
-pOH=-pKw+pKIn+log[In-][HIn]
pKw-pOH=pKIn+log[In-][HIn]
or,pH=pKIn+log[In-][HIn]
i.e.log[In-][HIn]=pH-pKIn
