Packet 7: Tossup 2

By observing a change in this property, Nessler’s reagent can detect minute amounts of ammonia. (15[1])This property is compared using Nessler cylinders during a namesake “analysis” that can also use simpler analogues of spectrophotometers to measure this non-absorbance (15[1])property using Beer’s law. (-5[1])Ninhydrin (-5[1])undergoes a change in this (-5[1])property (-5[1])to detect (*) fingerprints. A change in this property for compounds such as phenol•phthalein (10[1])(“fih-nawl-THAY-leen”) or (10[2])bromo•thymol (10[3])denotes (10[1]0[1])the endpoint (10[2])of an acid-base titration. Indicators (10[1])undergo (10[1])changes in this property depending on pH. (10[4]-5[2])For 10 points, name this property (10[1])that can be imparted by pigments. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[1])
