A Universal indicator is a pH indicator composed of a solution of several compounds that exhibits several smooth colour changes over a pH value range from 1-14 to indicate the acidity or basicity of solutions. A universal indicator is typically composed of water, propan-1-ol, phenolphthalein sodium salt, sodium hydroxide, methyl red, bromothymol blue monosodium salt, and thymol blue monosodium salt.


How do you make a universal indicator?

Universal indicator is an aqueous solution of many indicators: methanol, propan-1-ol, phenolphthalein sodium salt, methyl red and monosodium salts of bromothymol blue and thymolblue. Most of these have a very complicated process associated with it during its manufacture.

When you add an acid to a carbonate to a universal indicator it turns milky?

This is false. When you add a carbonate to universal indicator it's does not turn milky. In actual fact it turns either like thick bubbly layers or stay the same depending on the acid type are using in this situation. Because of chemistry scientists have sussed that there is no acid which can make the universal indicator turn milky. So the answer to the question is no and if you have to put this question into into a trye or false table then this question would go under FALSE because it does not turn milky.
