Detailed Solution
Ostwald's theory: According to this theory:(a) The colour change is due to ionisation of the acid-base indicator. The unionised form has different colour than the ionised form.(b) The ionisation of the indicator is largely affected in acids and bases as it is either a weak acid or a weak base. In case, the indicator is a weak acid, its ionisation is very much low in acids due to common H+ ions while it is fairly ionised in alkalies. Similarly if the indicator is a weak base, its ionisation is large in acids and low in alkalies due tocommon OH- ions.
