pH of Ionic Dye Solutions

IT appears to have been generally accepted, in biology at least, that when acid or basic dyes are dissolved in water they do not change the p H of the solvent, except possibly in the case of some dyes, to a negligible degree. It was thought that any slight p H changes which basic dyes might have on...

Description
Summary:IT appears to have been generally accepted, in biology at least, that when acid or basic dyes are dissolved in water they do not change the p H of the solvent, except possibly in the case of some dyes, to a negligible degree. It was thought that any slight p H changes which basic dyes might have on the solvent would be to reduce its p H by an insignificant degree.
