Tray 1: Yellow (H2O + C27H28Br2O5S ←→ C27H28Br2O5S + H+)
Yellow was created by mixing HCl with Bromothymol blue indicator. With H2O and
C27H28Br2O5S, the color created was blue. However, the addition of the HCl caused the solution
to turn yellow since the acid shifted the system to the left. Without the addition of an acid, the
overall reaction would have stayed blue.
