Phenolphthalein is the PH indicator used to detect the acidity of the solution. When the solution is acidic or near-neutral (PH<8.2), it's colorless; when the solution is basic (8.2<PH<10.0),it will turn from colorless to pink, and gradually turns fuchsia when PH reaches 12.0, back to colorless when overpasses 12.0.

What pH values indicates a solution with the highest concentration of hydrogen ions pH equals 1 or pH equals 2 or Ph equals 7or pH equals 14?
pH = 14 is basic pH = 7 is neutral pH - 1 and 2 are acidic; pH = 1 is more acidic than pH = 2 Therefore a solution at pH 1 has higher concentration of H+ than at pH 14
What substances would be least acidic pH equals 2ph equals 3ph equals 6ph equals 1or pH equals 4?
the least acidic would be the one closest to the neutral pH number of 7 (which is the pH of pure water, NOT salt water... salt water is slightly acidic i THINK due to salt content). so in the case given in ur question, the least acidic would be the substance with pH level of 6.
Does a solution that has pH equals 7 has the same concentration of hydronium ions as a solution that has pOH equals 7?
Yes, if both solutions are at 25oC then in both solutions this is valid: pH + pOH = 14.0
What is the pH of a solution that has hydrogen equals 2.3 x 10-4?
Molarity of hydrogen solution equals 2.3 X 10^-4 -log(2.3 X 10^-4) = 3.6 pH
True or false pH equals -log H3O plus?
True
What is the colour of phenolphthalein in tap water?
Phenolphthalein is colorless in tap water, as tap water is typically neutral to slightly acidic. It only turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2.
How does phenolphthalein work?
Phenolphthalein is an indicator that undergoes a colour change from colourless to pink that begins at a pH of 8.0. So in the titration your performing the phenolphthalein will start to change colour at the point when the moles of acid equal the moles of base. Although this colour change occurs at a pH of 8.0 and not at a pH of 7.0 phenolphthalein is commonly used because of the distinctive colour change that occurs. Phenolphthalein is colourless in acids and pink/purple in base. It also turns orange in very strong acids.
If phenolphthalein is added to a solution and it turns pink what is the pH of the solution?
The pH of the solution is above 8.2. Phenolphthalein changes color from colorless to pink in the pH range of 8.2 to 10.0.
What is colour of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate in presence of a drop of phenolphthalein?
The color of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate in the presence of phenolphthalein would be pink. Phenolphthalein turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2. Sodium carbonate is a basic compound that will cause the phenolphthalein indicator to change color to pink.
What colour changes will appear when phenolphthalein is mixed with sodium chloride solution?
When phenolphthalein is mixed with sodium chloride solution, no color changes will occur. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in response to pH levels, while sodium chloride (table salt) does not significantly affect the pH of a solution.
What is the colour of phenolphthalein after addition of dilute HCl?
The color of phenolphthalein after the addition of dilute HCl is colorless. Phenolphthalein is typically pink in basic solutions but turns colorless in acidic conditions due to the change in pH.
What color does phenolpthalein turn in the presenc of an acid?
Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink or red in basic solutions.
What will happen when phenolphthalein paper is used to test a base?
It will change its colour from white to red on increasing the pH(for bases)
Why there is no colour change when phenolphthalein is added to the oxalic acid?
Oxalic acid is a weak acid and phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in the pH range of 8.2 to 10. Oxalic acid solutions typically have a pH below the range where phenolphthalein changes color, so there is no visible change when phenolphthalein is added to oxalic acid.
What is the original colour of phenolphthalein?
The original color of phenolphthalein is colorless. It turns pink in a basic solution with a pH greater than 8.2.
When a drop of phenolphthalein is introduced in lime water the solution turns?
pink if the lime water is basic. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in solutions with a pH greater than 8.2, indicating the presence of a base like lime water.
When does phenolphthalein turn pink?
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a basic solution with a pH greater than 8.2. It is commonly used as an acid-base indicator to visually show the endpoint of a titration when the pH of the solution changes.
