  2. Phenolphthalein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenolphthalein

    Phenolphthalein is slightly soluble in water and usually is dissolved in alcohols in experiments. It is a weak acid, which can lose H + ions in solution. The nonionized phenolphthalein molecule is colorless and the double deprotonated phenolphthalein ion is fuchsia. Further proton loss in higher pH occurs slowly and leads to a colorless form.

  3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react with an equivalent quantity of each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization ...

  4. Phthalein dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Common phthalein dyes include ...

  5. Phthalic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalic_anhydride

    A well-known application of this reactivity is the preparation of the anthraquinone dye quinizarin by reaction with para-chlorophenol followed by hydrolysis of the chloride. [7] Phenolphthalein can be synthesized by the condensation of phthalic anhydride with two equivalents of phenol under acidic conditions (hence

  6. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    Reactions with indicators: bases turn red litmus paper blue, phenolphthalein pink, keep bromothymol blue in its natural colour of blue, and turn methyl orange-yellow. The pH of a basic solution at standard conditions is greater than seven. Bases are bitter. [5]

  7. pH indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_indicator

    In acid soils, chemical reactions occur in the soil that make aluminium available to these plants, turning the flowers blue. In alkaline soils, these reactions cannot occur and therefore aluminium is not taken up by the plant. As a result, the flowers remain pink. Another natural pH indicator is the spice turmeric.

  8. Phthalic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalic_acid

    It is a dibasic acid, with pK a s of 2.89 and 5.51. The monopotassium salt, potassium hydrogen phthalate is a standard acid in analytical chemistry. Typically phthalate esters are prepared from the widely available phthalic anhydride. Reduction of phthalic acid with sodium amalgam in the presence of water gives the 1,3-cyclohexadiene derivative ...

  9. Kastle–Meyer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastle–Meyer_test

    Phenolphthalein does not directly participate in this process; instead, it acts as an external source of electrons. In its reaction with hydrogen peroxide, the heme center of hemoglobin behaves as a peroxidase, reducing the peroxide to water. This activity depletes hemoglobin of electrons that are, in turn, re-supplied by the phenolphthalein.
