Phenolphthalein indicates the presence of an acid or base within substance. When there is a base present the phenolphthalein will create a pink to fuchsia color. When an acid is present the phenolphthalein will create a colorless to orange color.
Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions. When added to sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, the phenolphthalein will turn pink to indicate that the solution is basic.
Universal indicator is generally considered more accurate than phenolphthalein because it provides a broader range of colors to indicate the pH of a solution across a wider pH range. Phenolphthalein is more limited in its pH range and color changes.
Phenolphthalein is added as an indicator during titration to visually indicate the endpoint of the reaction. It changes color at a specific pH, usually from colorless to pink, which helps the titrator determine when the reaction is complete and the equivalence point has been reached.
Phenolphthalein is colorless in sulfuric acid.
Alkalis turn phenolphthalein pink or magenta.
phenolphthalein, methyl orange.
Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions. When added to sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, the phenolphthalein will turn pink to indicate that the solution is basic.
Phenolphthalein changes from colorless to pink in the range of pH 8.2 - 10. If toothpaste has a pH that is below this range, phenolphthalein will not indicate the basicity. if the pH is higher, which I believe it is in most (some) toothpastes, then phenolphthalein can be used, because it will turn from colorless to pink.

Yes, phenolphthalein is a compound with the molecular formula C20H14O4.
Alkalis turn phenolphthalein pink or magenta.
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.
NaOH turns pink when phenolphthalein is added.
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a basic solution.
Phenolphthalein is used as a pH indicator in acid-base titrations. It changes color in response to changes in pH, turning from colorless in acidic solutions to pink in basic solutions. This color change helps in determining the endpoint of the titration when the reaction is complete.
