Question 5 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which is a disadvantage of using chemical indicators?

Answer
T
They are expensive to use.
T
They measure pH directly.
T
They must be selected for a narrow pH range.
T
They do not use electricity to operate.

Explanation

Chemical indicators change color over a particular pH transition range, so you must choose an indicator whose range suits the solution being tested. This limits their usefulness when the pH is unknown or outside that range. Therefore, “They must be selected for a narrow pH range” is the disadvantage.
