Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid base reactions. The reaction used in this lab is: C_20 H_14 O_(4 (aq))+46 NaOH_((aq))→46 Na_( (aq))^++20 H_2 CO_(2 (aq))+10 H_2 O_((l)). Phenolphthalein and sodium hydroxide react to form carbonous acid, water, and Na+ ions. This reaction is a neutralization reaction, where phenolphthalein, a weak acid, reacts with a strong base, sodium hydroxide. When phenolphthalein is put into a basic solution, it turns pink. The phenolphthalein ion is…
