Triphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solutionresults. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears.Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.1
