Why does hydrochloric acid change phenolphthalein purple to colorless?
we know that hcl is an acid and acids change purple phenolphthalein to colourless. So HCL changes purple phenolphthalein to colourless
What colour does hydrochloric acid turn phenolphthalein?
It should be clear. Phenolphthalein doesn't change color in the presence of an acid, only a base.
What is the equation for neutralization of hydrochloric acid and phenolphthalein?
Phenoxide and Hydrochloric acid: C6H5O-Na+ + HCL ----> C6H5OH + NaCl
What happens if phenolphthalein solution is added in hydrochloric acid?
Because Hydrochloric acid is an acid, phenolphthalein would be clear. In bases Phenolphtlalein becomes pink
Phenolphthalein change color when mixed with hydrochloric acid?
No, phenolphthalein remains colourless in the presence of an acid.

What happen when oxalic acid is added to phenolphthalein?
Phenolphtalein is colorless in an acidic medium.
What color does phenolphthalein go in acid?
Orange in acidColourless in neutral solutionsPink/ purple in alkalisactually you are wrong the correct answer for this is....clear acidic solutionspink in basic solutionsand a pinkish-clear colour in neutral solutionsyou shouldn't always believe what you read i have this confirmed from my textbook which is by far a better source.
What would you mix an alkali or acid with to get a coloured substaince?
You could mix an acid or alkali with an indicator such as methyl orange or phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein is colorless in an acidic medium and pink in an alkaline one.
Why testing with phenolphthalein would not show weather the solution is acidic or neutral?
Phenolphthalein turns colorless in acid solutions and very strong base solutions.
Is hydrochloric acid and phenolphthalein a chemical change?
These are not changes but substances.The reaction is a chemical change.
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.
