What is a good property of an indicator?

Acid base indicators are weak and acids and bases, which are used to signify the end point of neutralization reaction. The type of indicator used for a neutralization reaction depends on the strength of the acid and the base, that are involved in the reaction. A good acid base indicator must have a good pH range and it must be able to produce specific and identifiable color in specific acid base medium.

Two good properties of an indicator are as follows-

1) It should be specific- It means that the changes, which are measured by the indicator should be expressed in precise terms so that appropriate assessment could be made.

2) It should be time bound- This means that the measurable changes should arrive withing a particular time limit.

Example of indicator- Litmus is an acid base indicator that turns acidic solutions red and basic solutions into blue color.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
