What is the pKa of methyl?
Methyl red is a pH indicator; it is red in pH under 4.4, yellow in pH over 6.2, and orange in between, with a pKa of 5.1.
What is the pKa of HBr?

Hydrobromic acid (HBr): pKa = -8.7.
How are phosphorous acid and phosphonate salts related?
Phosphonic acids and derivatives are chemically and structurally related to phosphorous acid. Phosphonate salts are the result of deprotonation of phosphonic acids, which are diprotic acids:

What happens when dialkyl phosphonates are deprotonated?
In the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction dialkyl-phosphonates are deprotonated to give stabilized carbanions, which react with aldehydes to give E-alkenes with elimination of a dialkyl- phosphate. Compounds containing 2 geminal phosphonate groups are known as bisphosphonates.
How are phosphonates different from other chelating agents?
Phosphonates are highly water-soluble while the phosphonic acids are only sparingly so. Phosphonates are effective chelating agents. That is, they bind tightly to di- and trivalent metal ions, which is useful in water softening. In this way, they prevent formation of insoluble precipitates (scale).
