Why does sodium hydroxide and phenolphthalein mixture turn clear when carbon dioxide is added?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in the aqueous solution to produce carbonic acid. The carbonic acid dissociates to produce the carbonate ion and two protons. The protons reacts with the hydroxide provided by the already dissociated sodium hydroxide to produce water. The sodium carbonate is fairly soluble and stays in solution. Since the hydroxide ion is depleted, the phenolphthalein reverts from pink to clear as it does in solutions with a pH less than 8.3.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to acetic acid?

What is the name of the salt formed when sodium hydroxide is added to nitric acid?
sodium nitrate
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to ferrous chloride?
The Result is Imran.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?

What happens when sodium hydroxide is added dropwise to solution containg phenolphthalein?
At a particular point, the color of the indicator would change from colorless to pink (purple).
What happen when sodium hydroxide is added to phenophathalen?
The color of phenolphtalein in basic medium is "fuchsia".

What is the evidence for a shift in equilbrium when ammonium chloride was added to the stock solution in hydroxide phenolphthalein?
What is the evidence for a shift in equilibrium's when ammonium chloride was added to the stock solution in hydroxide phenolphthalein? In: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/2455 [Edit categories]
Does sodium hydroxide release protons when added to water?
No. Sodium hydroxide releases hydroxide ions, which actually take protons out of the solution. This qualifies sodium hydroxide as a base.
What will happen if a small amount of sodium hydroxide is added to a 0.1 M solution of ammonia?
the percent ionization of ammonia will decrease
Is copper soluble in sodium hydroxide?
Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.
Name the solution formed when sodium is added to water?
sodium hydroxide solution
