The Substitutions and Modifications section is missing the following paragraph: "To prepare the Kastle-Meyer phenolphthalein solution, dissolve 0.1 g of phenolphthalein powder in 10.0 mL of 25% w/v aqueous sodium hydroxide in a test tube and add 0.1 g of mossy zinc and a boiling chip. Boil the solution very gently, adding water as necessary to maintain the volume, until the bright pink solution turns colorless or slightly yellowish. Allow it to cool, decant off the liquid, and dilute it to 100 mL with 70% ethanol. Store in a tightly-capped brown bottle." |
