Why does sodium hydroxide turn universal indicator blue?

Because sodium hydroxide is an alkali with a high PH scale


What happens when sodium is added to water and universal indicator?

sodium will react violently with water, and end products are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. the universal indicator would turn to around orange(?)


What colour should sodium be in universal indicator?

Purple. Sodium Hydroxide is an Alkali/base. Bases and Alkalis have a pH greater than 7, and turn blue-purple in universal indicator.


What would be expected when sodium hydroxide solution is added gradually to a conical flask of dilute nitric acid containing universal indicator?

The indicator would show a rising pH.


A hydroxide ion is indicated by?

As a chemical ion it is 'OH^-'. As in sodium hydroxide NaOH. A pH indicator will shown it as pH 8 to 12' depending on the ionic strength. A Universal Indicator will colour 'blue/violet/indigo'.


What color will the indicator be in a neutral sodium hydroxide?

the indicator will be the pale colors of green :)


What indicator can you choose for the titration of oxalic acid with sodium hydroxide?

Phenolphthalein, because NaOH is a strong base.


What does universal indicator contain?

Water, propan-1-ol, phenolphthalein sodium salt, sodium hydroxide, methyl red, bromothymol blue monosodium salt, thymol blue monosodium salt.


Why phenolphthalein is chosen as the suitable indicator for sodium hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide is a base. And phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color at around a pH of 8.4, so you can tell when your solution that endpoint.


Color of sodium carbonate in universal indicator?

rouge


Why is phenolphthalein indicator used in the titration of oxalic acid against sodium hydroxide?

Yes. Phenolphthalein can be used as an indicator for the titration of a weak acid (oxalic acid) against strong base (sodium hydroxide).


Universal indicator is a mixture of what?

Universal indicators can be mixed with different substances. Universal indicators usually contain water, salt, propan-1-ol, sodium hydroxide, monosodium, phenolphthalein sodium salt, methyl red, bromothymol blue, and thymol blue monosodium salt
