Explain how an acid-base indicator works

Reference no: EM13167965

Qualitatively, describe how an acid-base indicator works. Why do we want to use a minimum amount of indicator in a titration? Select all that apply.

None of these.

Because they are bases, indicators react with the titrant.

Because they are acids, indicators react with the titrant.

An acid-base indicator is a weak acid that changes color when it is converted from its acidic form to its basic form.

Acid-base indicators are weak acids that are always the same color.
