How does phenolphthalein indicator reacts with acidic and basic solution?
The phenolphthalein indicator reacts with the acidic and basic solution in the following way -: 1. When the solution is basic, phenolphthalein gives a pink color.
2. On the other hand, when the solution is acidic, it remains colorless.
This color change is a result of ionization, which alters the shape and charge of phenolphthalein molecules.
