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 the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid (\(HIn\)) and base (\(In^–\)) forms of the indicator, as per the expression:

1. log⁡[HIn][In−]=pKIn−pH 2. log⁡[HIn][In−]=pH−pKIn
3. log⁡[In−][HIn]= pH + pKIn 4. None of the above
