Tony is showing a bacterium having high pH requirement for its growth. He then has to prepare a minimal medium at pH 9. Adding 0.5 ml of the pH indicator to 10 ml of the medium, the solution remained colorless. The pH of the medium was adjusted using 2.25 ml of the 0.05 N titrant. a. What was the pH indicator utilized? b. What is the amount of 1 N titrant needed
