Consider the given examples listed here, find out which substance from the list will turn phenolphthalein pink? (a) vinegar ( b) water (c) lemon juice (d) soap.

Answer:
(d) soap.
Explanation:
A soap is obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of a fat to yield the soap and glycerol. This process is known as saponification.
A soap solution is usually basic. Since phenolphthalein turns pink in an alkaline solution, then when phenolphthalein is added to a soap solution, the solution soon turns pink because it is alkaline in nature.
As a matter of fact, a soap sometimes has almost the pH of baking soda!
