Phenolphthalein 5% in Ethanol -500ml
Phenolphthalein 5% in Ethanol is a concentrated acid-base indicator solution prepared in an ethanol medium for superior solubility and stability. It is colorless in acidic conditions and develops a pink to red color in alkaline environments (pH 8.2–10.0). The higher concentration provides enhanced visibility for titration endpoints and chemical demonstrations.
Chemical Name: Phenolphthalein Indicator Solution
Chemical Formula: C₂₀H₁₄O₄
Concentration: 5% (w/v) in ethanol
Appearance: Clear, colorless to faint pink solution that turns deep pink in alkaline media

Uses:
-
Indicator in acid-base titrations
-
pH indicator for laboratory analysis and demonstrations
-
Analytical reagent in water, pharmaceutical, and chemical testing
-
Used where a stronger color response is needed
Key Features:
-
Concentration: 5% phenolphthalein in ethanol
