Tropaeolin O sodium salt is a dye used as a pH indicator in laboratory applications. It functions by changing color in response to changes in the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. At a low pH, the dye appears yellow, while at a high pH, it turns red. This property may be useful for visually determining the pH of a solution without the need for complex instrumentation. Tropaeolin O sodium salt achieves this through a reversible chemical reaction with hydrogen ions, leading to a shift in its absorption spectrum. Its mechanism of action involves the interaction of the dye molecules with the hydrogen ions present in the solution, resulting in a visible color change that corresponds to the pH level.
