Phenolphthalein is used as an acid or base indicator where, in contact or presence of acid, it will turn colorless and with a base, it will turn into a fuchsia color. It is also a component in universal indicator, a solution consisting of a mixture of pH indicators (usually phenolphthalein, methyl red, bromothymol blue, and thymol blue).
Phenolphthalein, (C20H14O4), an organic compound of the phthalein family that is widely employed as an acid-base indicator. As an indicator of a solution's pH, phenolphthalein is colourless below pH 8.5 and attains a pink to deep red hue above pH 9.0.
It would make sense to titrate to the best possible colour with each indicator. If you use phenolphthalein, you would titrate until it just becomes colourless (at pH 8.3) because that is as close as you can get to the equivalence point.
A strong acid- strong base titration is performed using a phenolphthalein indicator. Phenolphtalein is chosen because it changes color in a pH range between 8.3 – 10. It will appear pink in basic solutions and clear in acidic solutions.
Question: How to make phenolphthalein TEST solution?
Ans: Dissolve 10.0 g of phenolphthalein powder in 750 mL of ethanol and dilute to 1 L with distilled water. Add 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution dropwise to the first permanent faint pink end point. Color and pH range: colorless 8.3-10.0 red.
Phenolphthalein is basic indicator which remain colorless in acidic and neutral solution and turns pink or magenta in basic solution. If few drops of NaOH is added again to the same solution, the solution become basic and the pink color of the phenolphthalein reappears.
