Answer:
Colourless
Explanation:
Phenolphthalein is an acid-base indicator and is commonly employed in acid-base titration experiments.
Phenolphthalein is weakly acidic. Its ions are pink in colour whereas the molecule is colourless.
When phenolphthalein is in the presence of excess hydrogen ions i.e. in an acidic solution, its colour is colourless because it retains its molecular state (because it is itself an acid) but when it is in the presence of a basic solution it dissociates into ionic form to neutralize the excessive hydroxide ions of base and therefore the solution turns pink.
Phenolphthalein indicator will turn colorless in the presence of excess hydrogen ion.
INDICATOR:
- Chemical indicators are substances that respond to the presence of acid or bases in a solution by changing color.
- Indicators are used in chemical experiments like titration etc. Chemical indicators include methyl orange, methyl red, phenolphthalein etc.
- Phenolphthalein as a specific indicator turns pink in basic or alkaline solutions and turns colorless in acidic solutions i.e. solutions containing excess hydrogen ions.
