  • Phenolphthalein Is Pink in Base Acid–Base Indicators SCIENTIFIC
    Phenolphthalein Is Pink in Base Acid–Base Indicators SCIENTIFIC Introduction Phenolphthalein is a large organic molecule used as an acid–base indicator. Phenolphthalein turns a bright red color as its solution becomes basic. In a strongly basic solution, this red color fades to colorless. Concepts • Acid–base indicators • Chemical equilibrium Background Phenolphthalein has the colorless structure shown in Figure 1 when the solution pH <8. As the solution becomes basic and the pH increases (pH 8–10), the phenolphthalein molecule (abbreviated H2P) loses two hydrogen ions to form the red- violet dianion (abbreviated P2–) shown in Figure 2. At a high pH, the P2– ions reacts with hydroxide ions to form the colorless POH3– ion. HO – – O –O O O OH O O– C C C – – + OH C O CO– 2 CO2 OH – CO2 O P2– Red 2– POH3– Colorless3– Figure 1. H2P is colorless. Figure 2. P is red. Figure 3. POH is colorless. 2– The colorless-to-red transition of H2P to P (Equation 1) is very rapid and the red color develops instantly when the pH reaches its transition range (pH 8–10). If the concentration of hydroxide ions remains high, the red P2– dianion will slowly combine with hydroxide ions to form a third species, POH3– (Equation 2), which is again colorless. The rate of this second reaction is much slower than the first and depends on the concentration of phenolphthalein and hydroxide ions. Thus, the color of the red P2– species will gradually fade in a basic solution. fast 2– + H2P → P + 2H Equation 1 Colorless Red slow P2– + OH– → POH3– Equation 2 Red Colorless Materials (for each demonstration) Hydrochloric acid solution, HCl, 3 M, 10 mL Beral-type pipet, disposable Phenolphthalein solution, 0.5%, 3mL Test tubes, borosilicate, 16 5 100mm, 3 Sodium hydroxide pellets, NaOH, 2 Test tube rack Sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH, 3 M, 5 mL Wash bottle Safety Precautions Hydrochloric acid solution is toxic and corrosive to eyes and skin tissue.

Postal 19011, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. 2Departamento de Engenharia Química, Universidade da Região de Joinville, Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. *Author for correspondence. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Since the characteristics of the fresh fruit of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) are little known, its valorization and use are impaired. The fruit’s bioactive compounds at two stages of maturity, start and end of maturity, are evaluated, with differentiating colors between green-yellow and orange for two sizes of the fruit. The ratio between sugars and acids increased from the beginning to the end of maturity. Quercetin was not found in the samples. Nevertheless, rutin was predominant in small and large size mature sample, followed by greenish yellow (start of maturity) color of the small size fruit, with values ranging between 6.904 and 6.761 μg g-1 and 5.891 to 4.465 μg g-1, respectively. Myricetin rates ranged between 1.085 and 1.170 μg g-1 and 1.110 to 1.309 μg g-1 for greenish yellow and orange fruits, respectively. These results characterize the fruit of Physalis peruviana L. as a source of phenolic compounds in food.

  • We Have Little Information Regarding the Nucleic Acid of Bacteria, Whether Concerning a Pathogenic Or a Non-Pathogenic Bacteria
    The Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 28, No. 3. ON THE NUCLEIC ACID OF TYPHOID BACILLUS OF MICE. BY SYUZO AKASI. (From the Medico-chemical Institute, Kyoto Imperial University. Director: Prof. K. Mayeda.) (Received for publication, June 20, 1938) We have little information regarding the nucleic acid of bacteria, whether concerning a pathogenic or a non-pathogenic bacteria. Studies of nucleic acids have been made with coli bacillus by Schaffer, Forkoff, and Jone (1922), with azotobacter by Mockeridge (1924), with tubercle bacillus by Ruppel (1898-99) and later by Johnson and Brown (1922 & 1923), and with timothy bacillus (1931) as well as diphtheria bacillus (1932) re cently by Coghil1. All the workers were truly in accord with the finding that bacterial cells contain generally a nucleic acid as a cell constituent, but the individual results indicated a marked difference from each other, so that as to the question whether it deals with the animal or the plant type of nucleic acid, or in another term, lately introduced, a ribose or a desoxyribose nucleic acid, a definite answer has not yet been offered. For the purpose of aquiring a clear knowledge of this problem many detailed in vestigations extending also to various bacilli are desired , notwith standing the fact that in this field of study many difficulties are naturally encountered, the foremost being to prepare a sufficient amount of investigation materials from bacteria, in whose cultiva tion enormous expense is involved, and secondly, to submit the crude product to a rigorous purification for detailed chemical analysis. The present paper reports the study of nucleic acid of typhoid bacillus of a mouse, which was conducted with the aim of obtaining material from bacilli in a high state of purity and to make a precise analysis of it in many respects, so that a com 355 356 S.

It has already been shown that the collected at various times throughout the day. glomerular filtration rate, the urea, and the sodium Some were early morning specimens. Aliquots were and chloride clearances are very low in newborn removed soon after the urines were passed for the babies, and that very young animals are unable to determination of pH, titratable acidity, and ammonia, and the remainder of the urine was concentrate their urines to the same extent as preserved under toluene if it was not possible to adults of the same species.

  • Evaluation of Indicator and Antioxidant Activity of Hybrid Rose (Rosa Hybrida)
    Satpal Bisht et al. / Journal of Pharmacy Research 2012,5(1),428-429 Research Article Available online through ISSN: 0974-6943 http://jprsolutions.info Evaluation of indicator and antioxidant activity of hybrid rose (Rosa hybrida) Satpal Bisht *, Rojita Mishra, Amrita Panda ,B.Praveen ,Koustava Panda and Tripti Sahu Department of Biotechnology,Roland Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences,Berhampur- 760010, Orissa, India Received on:20-09-2011; Revised on: 15-10-2011; Accepted on:10-12-2011 ABSTRACT Rosa hybrida cv. Menu Pearl and cv. Cri Cri are hybrid tea roses. The petal extract of Rosa hybrida cv. Menu Pearl and cv. Cri Cri was tested as natural indicator in acid base titrations instead of the synthetic and other conventionally used indicators. Methanolic petal extract of cv. Menu Pearl when used as indicators showed coincidence point’s equivalent to phenolphthalein. Rose hips were analyzed by titration for the presence of vitamin C. Crude rose hips extract (unripe) of cv. Menu Pearl contained 325(w/w %) and cv. Cri Cri 112.5 (w/w%) Vitamin C. Even the flower petals contained Vitamin C twice the amount present in lemon and orange. Key Words: Rosa hybrida, Synthetic indicator, Vitamin C INTRODUCTION Rose is one of the most important ornamental flower immensely loved world slightly soft. Rose hips contain high concentration of ascorbic acid. Com- wide due to its fascinating beauty, mesmerizing fragrance, preventive and pletely ripe fruits contain ash, crude oil, crude energy, crude fiber, crude cosmetic medicinal benefits. The German chemist Richard Willstätter [1] protein, ascorbic acid, dimethyl sulfite and minerals including K, P, Mg, Ca made the first breakthrough towards the understanding of the chemical struc- and Fe [5].
