The rapid change of pH near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the basis of indicator detection. pH of the solution is related to ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid (HIn) and base ($In^-$) forms of the indicator by the expression -
More than one option is correct.
A
$\log\dfrac{[HIn]}{[In^-]} = pK_{In} - pH$
B
$\log\dfrac{[HIn]}{[In^-]} = pH - pK_{In}$
C
$\log\dfrac{[In^-]}{[HIn]} = pH - pK_{In}$
D
$\log\dfrac{[In^-]}{[HIn]} = pK_{In} - pH$
The answers are A and C.
