Phenolphtalein is used as indicator for titration in chemistry. Also as a pH indicator: pink in basic solutions and colorless in acidic solutions. Phenolphatelein can be used to check blood in forensic problems or as a component of some inks.

Why neutralize alcohol with phenolpthalein?

Phenolphthalein is used as an acid-base indicator to determine the endpoint of a titration between a strong base and a weak acid when neutralizing alcohol. The pink color change indicates that all the weak acid has reacted with the strong base, allowing for accurate titration.


Can phenolpthalein solution be used to prove that toothpaste is a base?

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.
