What colour appear when lime water plus phenolphthalein?

When lime water (a solution of calcium hydroxide) is mixed with phenolphthalein, the solution turns pink. This occurs because phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in basic solutions. Lime water is alkaline, so it causes the phenolphthalein to shift from colorless to pink in the presence of a base.

The solution is colourless.


What colour would lime water turn in phenolphthaleln?

Lime water, which is a solution of calcium hydroxide, does not change color when phenolphthalein is added. Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in basic solutions. Since lime water is basic, it would typically show a pink color when phenolphthalein is present. However, if the lime water is sufficiently dilute, the color change may not be very pronounced.


What is the action of sodium hydroxide on the colour of phenolphthalein?

Phenolphthalein is pink in basic solutions.Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in volumetry - acid-base titration.


What is the colour of phenophthalein in tap water?

That depends on your tap water. Here where I live, the water is soft so its pH is quite low, 6.5 or 7, which means phenolphthalein is colourless. In some places it can be much higher, particularly where there is a lot of temporary hardness. Water companies work to the standard that pH should not exceed 9.5. Phenolphthalein changes colour over the range 8.2 to 10, so in very hard water it might show some pink.

What is the colour of phenolphthalein in tap water?

Phenolphthalein is colorless in tap water, as tap water is typically neutral to slightly acidic. It only turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2.

What colour changes will appear when phenolphthalein is mixed with sodium chloride solution?

When phenolphthalein is mixed with sodium chloride solution, no color changes will occur. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in response to pH levels, while sodium chloride (table salt) does not significantly affect the pH of a solution.

How does phenolphthalein work?

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.
