At 25 o C , p H range of phenolphthalein is 8 - 10 . At 100 o C , pH range of phenolphthalein would be -
Options
- ApH range remain unaffected by the temperature
- BpH range is altered to 7 - 9
- CpH range is altered to 7 - 11
- DpH range is altered to 8 - 11
Correct answer
B. pH range is altered to 7 - 9
Step-by-step solution
The pH range of the indicator is p K I n ± 1 . On increase in temperature p K I n decreases therefore pH range of indicator decreases.
