Explain the ratio of the conjugate base concentration

Reference no: EM13301608

Phenolphthalein is a commonly used indicator that is colorless in the acidic form (pH < 8.3) and pink in the basic form (pH > 10.0). It is a weak acid with a pKa of 8.7. What is the ratio of the conjugate base concentration to the acid concentration, that is, [B- ]/[HB] when the indicator switches to the acidic color?
