why phenolpthalin gives pink colour when we titrate aganist
sodium hydroxcide & phenolpthalin gives colourless titrate
aganist hydrochlric acid which is un burate

Answer Posted / b.gangatharan

According to Quinonoid theory acid base indicators exist in two tautomeric forms having different structures. phenolphthalein has benzenoid form in acidic medium and thus it is colourless while it has quinonoid form in alkaline medium which has pink colour.

I have compare C2H2-air and C2H2-N2O flame AAS on determination calcium. Both use same range of std to plot calibration curve. (2-6ppm) When i measure the sample with phosphate, KCl and LaCl, C2H2-N2O flame give false positive result, around 0.5ppm. When i measure the sample with phosphste, KCl and EDTA. C2H2-N2O flame also give 0.5ppm false positive. But both above mentioned sample would not give false positive when measured by C2H2-air flame. What is the reason?
