    pKa of indicator: 7.2

    The indicator is yellow in acidic form

    When pH = pKa, indicator will be Orange

    Explanation:

    pKa of a indicator is in the middle of its virage. That is

    (6.4 + 8.0) / 2 = 7.2

    The indicator is yellow in acidic form and red in the basic form. When pH = pKa, the indicator will be the half yellow and the half red, by colour theory, red + yellow = indicator will be Orange.
