“…The only problem lies in determining the dissociation constants of the indicator in the specific nonaqueous or mixed solvent. Although scarce, the thermodynamic equilibrium constants in mixed solvents have been reported for the following indicator dyes: antraquinones and anthrones in MeOH + H 2 O (Almasifar et al, 1997;Shamsipur et al, 1993), alizarine red s in MeOH +, EtOH +, DMSO + and AN + H 2 O (Ghasemi et al, 2006b), 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol in MeOH + H 2 O (Ghasemi et al, 2002), in AN + H 2 O (Ghasemi et al, 2003), in DMF + H 2 O (Rouhollahi et al, 2005), and in dioxane + H 2 O (Ghasemi et al, 2006a), methyl red and phenol red in EtOH + and MeOH + H 2 O (Srour and McDonald, 2008b), and fluorescein in EtOH + H 2 O (Gholivand et al, 2008). …”
