Phenolphthalein can be synthesized by the condensation of phthalic anhydride with two equivalents of phenol under acidic conditions (hence the name). It was discovered in 1871 by Adolf von Baeyer . [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ]
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.
Upon reduction, the very intense pink color of the cationic form of phenolphthalein fades to a faint yellow color. It is this form of phenolphthalein that is present in Kastle–Meyer test kits. In order to generate the intense pink color indicative of a positive test, the reduced phenolphthalein must be oxidized back to its normal, colored form.
Fuel additives in the United States are regulated under section 211 of the Clean Air Act (as amended in January 1995). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the registration of all fuel additives which are commercially distributed for use in highway motor vehicles in the United States, [8] and may require testing and ban harmful additives.
A self-sealing fuel tank (SSFT) is a type of fuel tank, typically used in aircraft fuel tanks or fuel bladders, that prevents them from leaking fuel and igniting after being damaged. Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when ...
Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. 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.
Here, experts explain when to use ice, when to use heat, and when to see a doctor about your back pain if all else fails. Cold vs. heat for pain.
The iOverlander [2] database maintained by travelers, My LPG [3] and the Facebook group "Cooking Gas Around the World [4]" provide more information about individual sources per country. Much general information about global LPG use and standardization is available from the World LPG Association [ 5 ] and the AEGPL [ 6 ]
