thymol blue 436, 545 and 595 nm
Thymol iodide is commonly known as iodoform.
Acid turns thymol blue from blue to yellow. This color change is due to the change in the chemical structure of thymol blue in response to the acidic conditions.
Thymol is not very soluble in water, but you can enhance its solubility by using a solvent like ethanol or propylene glycol and then adding it to water. Alternatively, you can create a thymol suspension by using a surfactant or emulsifier to disperse thymol particles in water.
Thymol is a solid at room temperature and has a melting point of around 50-51°C.
DISSOLVE 1.2 Gm OF THYMOL CRYSTALS IN 20mL OF ETHYL ALCOHOL. THEN, BRING TO FINAL VOLUME WITH ETHYL ALCOHOL.
Thymol blue changes color in the presence of acid or base. If hydrochloric acid is added, thymol blue would turn yellow due to the acidic environment.
No, thymol is not mercury. Thymol is a naturally occurring compound found in plants like thyme and is commonly used in antiseptic and disinfectant products. Mercury, on the other hand, is a heavy metal that is toxic to humans and the environment.
Yes, thymol can result in dilated and fixed pupils which could then be damaging to the eye if you go to the area of increased sun exposure. This mostly occurs in overdose of thymol.
Thymol is soluble in NaOH because it can form a salt with the hydroxide ion (OH-) in NaOH through ion-dipole interactions. This interaction allows thymol to dissociate into ions and become soluble in the aqueous NaOH solution.

Thymol blue is a pH indicator that changes color depending on the acidity or basicity of a solution. In the presence of a base, thymol blue will change from yellow to blue. It is commonly used in titrations to determine the endpoint of a reaction with a base.
