Mục tiêu

Quan sát cách các chỉ thị pH khác nhau thay đổi màu sắc ở các giá trị pH cụ thể và hiểu khái niệm khoảng chuyển màu của chỉ thị.

Bối cảnh

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.

Cảnh báo an toàn

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

Quy trình

1

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

10 phút 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 phút
3

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

5 phút
4

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

5 phút
5

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

5 phút
6

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

Kết quả dự kiến

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.

Dọn dẹp

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