pH 지시약 무지개

전체 pH 범위에 걸친 지시약 색 변화 지도 만들기

Qualitative Analysis Beginner (Middle School) 45 분 ~$8.00

목표

다양한 pH 지시약이 특정 pH 값에서 어떻게 색이 변하는지 관찰하고 지시약 변색 범위의 개념을 이해한다.

배경

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.

안전 경고

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

실험 절차

1

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

10 분 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 분
3

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

5 분
4

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

5 분
5

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

5 분
6

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

예상 결과

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.

정리

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