An attempt was made to estimate the first pKa values of bromocresol green, bromocresol purple, bromophenol blue, cresol red, and phenol red using a method similar to that of Reilley and Sawyer. Values of -0.75 (-2.13 on the Hammett acidity scale) for bromocresol purple, +1.05 for cresol red, and +1.
A popular method for predicting pK a values for organic molecules in aqueous solution is to establish empirical linear least-squares fits between calculated deprotonation energies and known experimental pK a values. In virtually all such calculations, the empirically observed slope of the pK a vs. D
