There are three types of substances acids, bases, and neutrals. The properties of an acid include they are sour, have a PH of less then 7, corrosive to skin, contains hydrogen, and reacts to litmus paper.
A pH indicator is a substance that changes colour depending on the acidity of the environment that it is exposed to. The main property of a pH indicator is that it should change colour between two different pH reading. (E.g. phenolophatlein is an indicator that is colourless if the pH<8.3 and pink is the pH>10.0). It should be consistent at producing the same colour each time it is exposed to environments of the same pH. Another property of an indicator is that it should be safe to use in a laboratory setting. Ideally, a pH indicator should also be cheap and affordable as routine testing is often done. A pH indicator should not change the nature of the tested substance significantly.
1.exist in different colours in either the acid or the base
2.they have pka corresponding the acid or base being titrated
3.they weak acids or bases
*sour tase
*turns blue litmus paper red
They must be able to change colour in different concentrations of H3O+ i.e. They need to be able to change colour to show which substance is an acid and which is a base.
An indicator is used to detect the presence of acid or base. The examples of indicators are litmus paper, methyl orange etc.
For example a sudden change of color when the pH of a solution changes.
Hair, a brain, organs, ans toenails
Acids turn litmus paper red. Bases turn litmus paper blue. If the paper turns orange, its an acid.
it gives pink in acids and green in bases
Use BromothymolBlue, an indicator that turns yellow in acids and blue in bases.
depends on the indicator used. in case of red litmus... changes to blue for basesand no change in acids blue litmus - changes to red in acids, no change in bases phenolpthelin - changes to pink in bases, no change in acid methyl orange - changes to red in acids and yellow golden in bases
No, it can only show whether the substance is an acid or a base.
yes the smell changes with acid and bases.

The indicator of acid is baking soda.
No, it can only show whether the substance is an acid or a base.
for one never taste it but, you will need an acid-base indicator to identify it...you can thank me later
Indicates whether the substance is an acid or alkali.
- Alkalis,such as sodium hydroxide, are soluble bases. Metal oxides, such as copper(II) hydroxide, are insoluble bases. Insoluble bases also react with acids to form salts and water.- In general,acid + base ----> salt + water- NEUTRALISATION is the reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.- An alkali react with an acid in a reaction called a neutralisation reaction. Neutralisation reactions are studied above.- Hydrochloric acid (an acid) is being added to sodium hyroxide (an alkali).*this have to use an indicator. the colour of the indicator will decrease to become neutral.
An acid base indicator is a substance that changes colour due the PH of the medium in which it is dissolved.
This indicator changes his color.
