Product Description

PR is a colorimetric reagent and indicator for heavy metal ions and rare earth metals. This reagent is hardly soluble in water and alcohol, and insoluble in organic solvents. The color of PR in aqueous solution is orange-red in weak acidic pH, yellow in neutral pH, and violet in alkaline pH. The aqueous PR solution turns red in the presence of Bi or Pb at acidic pH, and blue-violet in the presence of Co, Ni, and rare earth metal ions at neutral or alkaline pH. Its proton dissociation constants are reported to be pKa1=2.56, pKa2=6.28, pKa3=9.75 and pKa4=11.94.
