Phenolphthalein is an indicator that undergoes a colour change from colourless to pink that begins at a pH of 8.0. So in the titration your performing the phenolphthalein will start to change colour at the point when the moles of acid equal the moles of base. Although this colour change occurs at a pH of 8.0 and not at a pH of 7.0 phenolphthalein is commonly used because of the distinctive colour change that occurs. Phenolphthalein is colourless in acids and pink/purple in base. It also turns orange in very strong acids.
What else can I help you with?
How phenolphthalein work in an alkali?
Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color based on the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. In an alkaline environment (pH above 8.2), phenolphthalein turns from colorless to pink due to the deprotonation of its phenolic hydrogen, resulting in a negatively charged ion that absorbs light differently. This color change indicates the presence of a basic solution, making phenolphthalein useful for titrations and pH testing.
What colour in sulfuric acid is phenolphthalein?
Phenolphthalein is colorless in sulfuric acid.
Is phenolphthalein a compound?
Yes, phenolphthalein is a compound with the molecular formula C20H14O4.
Which Colour do alkali turn phenolphthalein?
Alkalis turn phenolphthalein pink or magenta.
Does Ammonia turns phenolphthalein in to pink?
No, ammonia does not turn phenolphthalein pink. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions, but ammonia is a weak base and typically does not have a strong enough pH to turn phenolphthalein pink.
What color does NaoH turn when phenolphthalein?
NaOH turns pink when phenolphthalein is added.
What is the color change of phenolphthalein in a basic solution?
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a basic solution.
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 would happen if I placed a Vial of phenolphthalein into a jar with ammonia?
Nothing will happen... but when you put a drop of the vial in the phenolphthalein, the phenolphthalein will turn into pink... It was just an observation that I saw in our experiment this afternoon
Phenolphthalein goes what colour in a base?
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a base and turns colourless in a base
What color change does phenolphthalein undergo in a basic solution?
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a basic solution.
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.
