Phenolphthalein

Phenolphthalein is an indicator used in titrations to determine the strength of acid or alkali solutions. The beauty of this word is if you spell the “p-h-t-h” portion to yourself. If you do it over and over I find it very soothing – give it a try. Also the name Maedhbh (alternative Irish spelling to Maeve, pronounced the same) has the same effect.
