Amino acids are in an equilibrium between two acids with the proton (H+) moving between the amino group and the carboxyl group as shown below. In such an equilibrium, the weaker acid always ...

Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their conjugate base. The acid and conjugate base each have different colors and as the equilibrium shifts ...
