Xylenol Blue is widely used as a pH indicator in various chemical and analytical applications, particularly for low pH environments. It transitions from red to yellow within the pH range of 1.4 to 2.8, making it useful in titration experiments to determine the endpoint of strong acid-weak base reactions. In analytical chemistry, it is employed for detecting and titrating metal ions such as aluminum, zinc, beryllium, and cadmium, due to its ability to form distinct colored complexes, often blue or purple, in the presence of these metals at pH around 5-6. Xylenol Blue is also utilized in environmental testing to assess acidity in water samples. Its specificity for metal ions and clear color changes make it a valuable tool in laboratory settings.
