Chlorophenol red is an indicator dye that changes color from yellow to violet in the pH range 4.8 to 6.7. The pH of a substance is determined by taking the negative logarithm of the Hydronium ion concentration and the indictor changes color due to the dissociation of H+ ions. The lambda max is at 572 nm.

Application

Chlorophenol red is a pH indicator. It is used as an optical transducer of acetyl cholinesterase inhibition by the analytes. Chlorophenol red is also used to selectively determine chlorine dioxide in drinking water.
