目的

様々なpH指示薬が特定のpH値でどのように変色するかを観察し、指示薬の変色域の概念を理解する。

背景

pH indicators are weak acids or bases whose conjugate forms have different colors. Each indicator has a characteristic transition range where it changes color. By testing multiple indicators across a range of buffered solutions, students create a visual map of indicator behavior that reinforces concepts of acid-base equilibrium and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

安全上の警告

  • Indicators can stain skin and clothing
  • Extreme pH solutions (pH 1, 14) are corrosive
  • Avoid mixing different buffer solutions

  • Buffer solutions (pH 1–14) (5 mL each)
    Pre-prepared set
  • Methyl orange indicator (5 mL)
    pH 3.1–4.4 range
  • Bromothymol blue indicator (5 mL)
    pH 6.0–7.6 range
  • Phenolphthalein indicator (5 mL)
    pH 8.2–10.0 range

    Simple acid/base test

器具

Spot plate or microwell plate Dropper pipettes (one per indicator) pH meter or pH paper White background paper

手順

1

Arrange the spot plate and add 10 drops of each buffer solution (pH 1 through 14) across each row.

10 分 Handle pH 1 and 14 solutions carefully
2

Add 2 drops of methyl orange to the first row of buffer solutions. Record the color at each pH.

5 分
3

Add 2 drops of bromothymol blue to the second row. Record the color at each pH.

5 分
4

Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein to the third row. Record the color at each pH.

5 分
5

Add 2 drops of universal indicator to the fourth row. Observe the full rainbow of colors.

5 分
6

Create a color chart recording each indicator's color at every pH level. Identify each indicator's transition range.

15 分

予想される結果

Methyl orange: red (acidic) to yellow (basic) around pH 3–4. Bromothymol blue: yellow to blue around pH 6–7.6. Phenolphthalein: colorless to pink around pH 8–10. Universal indicator: red through violet across the full pH range.

後片付け

Pour solutions into the appropriate waste container (acid or base). Rinse spot plates thoroughly with distilled water.
