pH INTRODUCTION INDICATORS 3 12 INTRODUCTION A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution in order to determinate easily the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the solution.
pH DEFINITION OF pH INDICATORS 4 12 pH is a mathematic tool used in chemistry to measure acidity of a solution mathematic definition for diluted solutions : DEFINITION OF pH usual pH range : 0-14
pH ACIDS & BASES INDICATORS 5 12 pH indicators exist under severals forms of acide-base couples : InH in acidic solutions (1st colour) In- in basic solutions (2nd colour) -> So, the colour of the solution can give us informations about acidity of the solution ACIDS & BASES
pH INDICATORS 6 12 ACIDS & BASES
pH BROMOTHYMOL BLUE INDICATORS 7 12 Bromothymol blue is the most famous coloured indicator BROMOTHYMOL BLUE
pH BROMOTHYMOL BLUE INDICATORS 8 12 A : acid form of BBT B : basic form of BBT C : pH in transition range of BBT
pH NATURAL INDICATORS INDICATORS 9 12 We can find a lot of natural indicators in the nature : Red cabbage (red–pink–violet–blue–green–yellow) Turmeric / Curry (yellow-orange-brown) Tea (yellow-brown) Rose petals (blue-pink) Artichoke (colorless-yellow) … NATURAL INDICATORS
pH INDICATORS 10 12 pH paper (Hydrion Paper) is a paper which contains a Universal Indicator "Universal Indicator" means severals indicators mixed in order to emit a different color for each pH value pH PAPER acidic basic pH paper is red in acid solutions and purple in basic solutions
