Phenol red exists as a red crystal that is stable in air. Its chemical formula is C19H14O5S. Phenol red is also known as phenolsulfonphthalein or PSP. Phenol red is a pH indicator that changes color in response to the pH of a solution. The color change is distinct and easy to interpret, ranging from yellow in acidic conditions to red in neutral and fuchsia in basic conditions. At a concentration of 0.04%, it appears as a red liquid when dissolved in a neutral or slightly basic aqueous solution. The color changes distinctly in different pH environments, which makes it useful for monitoring pH levels. Phenol red 0.04% solution is a slightly higher concentration of the pH indicator dye phenol red. This solution is also commonly used in various scientific and industrial applications.
