Asked by Amy

I had to calculate the conjugate base/acid ratio of phenol red in a phenol red solution prepared with a buffer I made and the base/acid ratio of just the phosphate buffer I made. I need to understand why these ratios are different. Can anyone help?

I suggest you write the two structures for each system as the acid + OH^- ==> conj base, plug in the concns from your data and you can see how/why the ratio is different.
