Many soluble dyes change their color with changes in pH (a measure of the concentration of acid in a solution). Such dyes may be used to indicate when the acid (base) in a solution has been neutralized by addition of an equal amount of base (acid). Each indicator dye has a particular range of pH for which it is useful. pH test strips and papers often incorporate two or more dyes to extend the range of pH over which they can be used. The best indicator dyes are strongly colored (so that only small amounts are needed), undergo an easily seen change with pH (either from one color to another, or from clear to colored), are nontoxic, and are chemically stable.

When you put an alkali and Universal Indicator in a test tube what colour does it go?

When an alkali is added to a test tube containing Universal Indicator, it typically turns the indicator solution a dark green or blue color. This is because Universal Indicator is a mixture of different pH indicators that show a range of colors from red (acidic) to green (neutral) to blue or purple (alkaline). The specific color change observed may vary depending on the concentration and type of alkali used.
