pH determination in experimental tube Y

Steps:

• Observe the indicator color change in tube Y from the experiment setup.
• Compare the color to the pH scale for the universal indicator used.
• Identify the corresponding pH range based on the color match.
• Select the option that aligns with the observed pH value.

Why B is correct:

• B corresponds to pH 7, the neutral point where [H+] = [OH-] = 10^-7 M, matching the indicator's green color for neutrality.

Why the others are wrong:

• A indicates acidic pH below 7, but tube Y shows neutral color.
• C indicates basic pH above 7, but tube Y lacks alkaline color shift.
• D indicates extreme acidity (pH < 3), but tube Y's color does not match strong acid.
