Bromthymol Blue (Noun)
Meaning
A dye used as an acid-base indicator.
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- Bromthymol blue is a commonly used acid-base indicator in many laboratory experiments to determine the pH of a solution.
- The pH of the solution was determined by adding a few drops of bromthymol blue to the beaker and observing the resulting color change.
- Bromthymol blue changes its color from yellow to blue as the pH of the solution increases, making it a useful indicator for acid-base titrations.
- In the presence of an acid, bromthymol blue turns yellow, while in the presence of a base, it turns blue, allowing for easy identification of the solution's pH.
- A few drops of bromthymol blue were added to the flask to indicate the endpoint of the acid-base reaction.
