Why do we use an object's mass, rather than its weight, to indicate the amount of matter it contains?

Mass is the amount of matter an object contains(density), where as weight is the measurement of gravity's affect on that object. ... For example a person weight more on Earth than on the Moon because Earth has higher mass, and thus higher gravitational pull. While mass is the amount of matter some body is made of.

Because mass doesn't changed based on location and scientists rely on a property that is constant no matter where the object may be.

One way to determine the pH of a solution is to measure the concentration of the acid and base forms of the indicator colorimetr
ki77a [65]

Answer:

pH = 4.26

Explanation:

Bromocresol green is a commonly used pH indicator. The concentration ratio of the acid form to base form explains its color, which reflects the pH of the medium.

C₂₁H₁₄Br₄O₅S + H₂O ⇄ C₂₁H₁₃Br₄O₅S⁻ + H₃O⁺

      acid                       conjugate base

We can calculate the pH through Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )=4.66+log(\frac{1}{2.49} )=4.26
