It's colourless. When it absorbs oxygen from the air, it turns purple.
It can be used in this way to calculate the amount of oxygen in air.
colourless → + oxygen → purple
(just an example, not a proper format)
It is a solution formed by the combination of pyrogallic acid and KOH (potassium hydroxide).
alkaline pyrogallol will still absorb oxygen with or without germinating seeds. There is a common chemistry experiment were the percentage of oxygen is determined by mixing pyrogallol and base sodium hydroxide which forms the alkaline pyrogallol. Don't ask me why and how the mechanism is still not clear to me.
oxygen (O2)
The solution is alkaline, because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
First of all it is NOT water at this pH level. It is an ALKALINE Solution. With a pH = 9.5 the colourt would be blue.

Pyrogallol,when in alkaline solution, it absorbs oxygen from the air, turning brown from a colourless solution. or simply none

True ^.^
Itmus becomes blue in alkaline suspension or solution.
The solution is alkaline, because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
Blue litmus turns red.
First of all it is NOT water at this pH level. It is an ALKALINE Solution. With a pH = 9.5 the colourt would be blue.
It stays blue.
when pH of a solution is in the range of 7-14, the solution is said to be alkaline solution.
