The easiest way is to add back some of the solution you were titrating. If phenolphthalein remains, it will react with the solution and change back to purple. Incidentally, phenolphthalein will always remain in the solution of the titration reaction - it changes color depending upon the pH of the solution, but the indicator itself is not affected by the titration reaction.

Is there a reaction between the ammonium hydroxide inside a plastic bag when immersed in a water with phenolphthalein?

If the phenolphthalein solution turns pink, that means that the plastic bag is permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If it remains colorless, then the plastic bag is not permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If the contents of the plastic bag turn pink, then the plastic bag is permeable to phenolphthalein. If everything remains colorless, then the bag is impermeable to both ammonium hydroxide and phenolphthalein.

What colour is phenolphthalein when soda is added?

As soda contains carbon dioxide, it's actually a dilute solution of carbonic acid, hence phenolphthalein remains colourless.

How much catalyst remains at the end of a catalysed reaction?

All the catalyst remains as it is not incorporated into the reaction products, it just speeds up the reaction time.

It is a reversible reaction


Why a catalyst is not considered a reactant or product in chemical reaction?

A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction, and remains as it was. It causes the start of the reaction, but is still there AFTER the reaction. Example- the catalytic converter on an automobile exhaust contains platinum metal. This causes a chemical reaction to take place in the exhaust gasses, but the metal remains in the converter, and is not consumed.


Why and when phenolphthalein used as the indicator?

There are a lot of indicators around. Choosing which one to use depends on what you're analyzing for, what pH the endpoint happens at, what kind of reaction is happening in the flask, etc. Some common ones are Methyl Orange, Methyl Red, Starch, Bromphenol Blue; the list goes on.
