By using a universal pH indicator. If the pH indicator turns from red to blue, it will shows that it is a alkaline solution or a base, if the pH indicator turns from blue to red, it shows that it is an acidic solution. Hope its use full info for you>>>:)d
With a universal indicator or with litmus paper.
It depends on what indicator you use. An alkaline solution will have a pH-value >7. So if you're using BTB, it'll be blue. If you're using Fenolftalein, then it'll be pink.
Alkaline levels are essential for the solution to change colour. Without alkaline levels, the colour of the solution would not be detectable.
A purple solution in universal indicator indicates an alkaline solution with a pH of 14
A dark purple.
There are various ways to test for an acid and an alkali. For acidic solution: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> red Phenolphthalein --> colorless Methyl orange --> pink Universal Indicator (changes color according to the strength of acid) --> red to yellow. For alkaline solutions: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> blue Phenolphthalein --> pink Methyl orange --> yellow Universal Indicator --> blue green to purple
Universal Indictor to test if it is an alkaline solution
it's a solution that is an indicator to test for lipids.
Universal indicator doesn't change anything in an acidic or alkali solution. All universal indicator does is show how acidic or alkaline a solution is (red being acidic, green being neutral and blue being alkali)
Benedict solution is the chemical indicator for simple sugars.
it is a agar medium for Microbiology containing phenolphthalein biphosphate. It is used in Petri plates and detects the phosphatase character of microbial colonies but requires final addition of alkali to color the phenolphatlein and the color rapidly fades.
