How does the hydrogen ion (H+) [or the hydronium ion (H3O+)] and the hydroxide ion (OH-) fit into all of this? What is their role in this reaction? In the case of this particular example that you watched, where would each of these ions have come from? Be specific, and be sure to address all questions to receive credit.

It is impossible to help you without knowing the initial reaction that this question is referencing.

let the acid be AH

and the base be BOH

so AH -----> A- + H+.......................................(1)

and BOH -----> B+ + OH-.......................................(2)

(1) + (2)

=

AH + BOH ------> A- + B+ + H+ + OH-

AH + BOH ------> AB + H2O



consider an acid thich is to be titrated with a base
when there is pure acid the concentration of H+ is high as compared to OH- so the indicator combinse with small amount of H+ to give the colour
when we add base to it the H+ ion concentration starts decreasing and OH- starts increasing nut thw colour remains same
there is point when H+ concentration = OH- concentration
after this point OH- concentration is more and the indicator is no longer combined with H+ and hence colour changes
