Phenolphthalein (/ fɛˈnɒl (f) θəliːn / [citation needed]feh-NOL (F)-thə-leen) is a chemical compound with the formula C 20 H 14 O 4 and is often written as " HIn ", " HPh ", " phph " or simply " Ph " in shorthand notation. Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. For this application, it turns colorless in ...
In biochemistry, naturally occurring phenols are natural products containing at least one phenol functional group. [1][2][3] Phenolic compounds are produced by plants and microorganisms. [4] Organisms sometimes synthesize phenolic compounds in response to ecological pressures such as pathogen and insect attack, UV radiation and wounding. [5]
The Kastle–Meyer test is a presumptive blood test, first described in 1903, in which the chemical indicator phenolphthalein is used to detect the possible presence of hemoglobin. It relies on the peroxidase -like activity of hemoglobin in blood to catalyze the oxidation of phenolphthalin (the colorless reduced form of phenolphthalein) into ...
Phthalide. Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Phthalide is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C 8 H 6 O 2. It is a white solid and the simplest benzo lactone. It is prepared from hydroxymethylbenzoic acid.
Universal indicator. A universal indicator is a pH indicator made of a solution of several compounds that exhibit various smooth colour changes over a wide range pH values to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of solutions. A universal indicator can be in paper form or present in a form of a solution. [1]
Phenols. In organic chemistry, phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are a class of chemical compounds consisting of one or more hydroxyl groups (− O H) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. [1] The simplest is phenol, C. 6H. 5OH.
Ferroxyl indicator is a solution containing potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) and phenolphthalein. It turns blue in the presence of Fe 2+ ions, and pink in the presence of hydroxide ions. It can be used to detect metal oxidation, and is often used to detect rusting in various situations. It can be prepared by dissolving 10g sodium chloride and ...
Phthalein dye. Chemical structure of phenolphthalein, a common phthalein dye. Phthalein dyes are a class of dyes mainly used as pH indicators, due to their ability to change colors depending on pH. [1] They are formed by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with various phenols. They are a subclass of triarylmethane dyes.
