What is the colour of phenolphthalein after addition of dilute HCl?

The color of phenolphthalein after the addition of dilute HCl is colorless. Phenolphthalein is typically pink in basic solutions but turns colorless in acidic conditions due to the change in pH.


What is the colour of phenolphthalein in tap water?

Phenolphthalein is colorless in tap water, as tap water is typically neutral to slightly acidic. It only turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2.


When phenolphthalein is added to ammonium hydroxide is the color of the final solution is pink?

Phenolphthalein is an indicator often used in chemical titrations. Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in basic solutions. The more basic the solution the pinker the solution will become when Phenolphthalein is present.


What color does phenolpthalein turn in the presenc of an acid?

Phenolphthalein only gives colour to bases with a pH above approximately 8.2-10. Then it gives a pink colour. As HCL is a strong acid it becomes colourless.

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


How do pH indicator dyes show a change in pH from acidic to basic or vice versa?

Certain indicators only change colour when placed in a particular pH level or range (e.g. litmus) and others are colourless in certain conditions (e.g. phenolphthalein, leuchomalachite green's second transition).


Why phenolphthalein get colour on basic medium?

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions but turns pink or purple in basic solutions because the hydroxide ions in the basic medium react with phenolphthalein to form a pink-colored compound. This color change is due to a shift in the chemical structure of phenolphthalein when exposed to a basic environment.
