The technique of the thymol turbidity test is much simpler, however, and probably consists of a direct precipitation of a protein appearing in liver disease by the addition of a thymol solution. It would seem, therefore, that a study of the
mechanism of this reaction and the protein component concerned would be more likely to yield clear-cut information regarding at least one of the proteins that appear in the blood stream during diseases of the liver.
No. You are thinking of thimerosal. Thymol is in thyme and oregano oils.
thymol blue 436, 545 and 595 nm
Thymol exists as a white, crystalline solid at room temperature.
Thymol is one of the main ingredients in oil of thyme. It has powerful antiseptic and antifungal properties and is sometimes used in mouthwashes and toothpaste both for that reason and because it has a pleasant smell. Chemically it's 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol.
Yes it is soluble because NaOH is nonpolar as well as Thymol being nonpolar
DISSOLVE 1.2 Gm OF THYMOL CRYSTALS IN 20mL OF ETHYL ALCOHOL. THEN, BRING TO FINAL VOLUME WITH ETHYL ALCOHOL.
Yes, thymol can result in dilated and fixed pupils which could then be damaging to the eye if you go to the area of increased sun exposure. This mostly occurs in overdose of thymol.
thymol is polar it does slightly dissolve in water and very soluble in NaOH.
Thymol blue will be yellow at pH < 8
C10H14O
the functional group of thymol is phenol because it got an OH group connected to aromatic ring (AR-OH)
