Description and Uses

Phenolphthalein is one of those chemicals that is commonly used in the chemistry laboratory to tell if a solution is acidic or alkaline . These chemicals are called acid - base indicators and used as indicator for acidimetric titrations. Phenolphthalein exerts laxative effects by stimulating the intestinal mucosa and constricting smooth muscles. However, phenolphthalein is no longer used as a laxative due to the suspected carcinogenicity of this compound.
