No totally different, universal indicator is a mixture of chemical which shows the precise p.H of a substance, blue litmus paper reveals whether the substance is acidic or alkaline.

A well known indicator?
Phenolphthalein Litmus Red Litmus Blue Universal Indicator -> Most Common Methyl Orange :)
What does a base do to red litmus paper?
Red litmus paper is used to check for basicity. It turns blue when exposed to bases. Blue litmus paper is used to check for acidity. It turns red when exposed to acids.
What is the color change of liquid soap on litmus paper?
soap is basic therfore, soap solution will keep blue litmus paper blue and turn red litmus paper blue
Why might a scientist prefer to use Universal Indicator rather than a different indicator like litmus?
Litmus only differentiates between acidic and alkaline solutions. It does not give an accurate value of the degree of acidity of alkalinity. Universal Indicator can help measure the pH of the given solution as it does not just change from red to blue and vice versa, but in solution has a range of colours.
Litmus paper turns what color in the presence of a base?
just saying that I'm 12 and i know the answer!an acid will turn red in litmus paper or a pinkcolour.if it is a week acid it will turn yellow or green. :)
What does acid base indicator mean?
Red cabbage or beetroot juice will do the job.
What is the name of an indicator that measures pH?
Litmus paper goes red or blue in acids or universal indicator may measure some level of pH
What is the indicator paper that turns blue in base?
Litmus paper
A well known indicator?
Phenolphthalein Litmus Red Litmus Blue Universal Indicator -> Most Common Methyl Orange :)
A substance that directly determines the acidity or alkalinity of a fluid?
Use a universal indicator or litmus paper. Litmus paper will turn red in acidic conditions and blue in alkali conditions. Universal indicator can give a more accurate PH reading than litmus paper.
An indicator does which one of the following in the presence of acids and bases?
Indicators can be used to determine if a substance is a acid or a base because of the reaction that occurs between the substance and the indicator. This creates a color change in the indicator (depending on which indicator you use). If it is a universal indicator, the substance may change from deep red to violet. If it is a litmus indicator, it will only turn either red or blue.
Does a base turn blue litmus paper blue?
yes a blue litmus paper turns red when put into an acid
What are two examples of natural indicator of acid and bases?
Red litmus paper and blue litmus paper. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid and red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of an alkali.
What way can we determine whether an unknown solution is an acid or base?
Some form of litmus paper or hydrion paper can be used. If unavailable, try a pH kit commonly found at a pool supply store. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE SOLUTION BEFORE OR DURING THIS TEST!!
How do you test if somethings is acids?
The presence of acid can be detected by using an indicator such as litmus paper. Litmus paper turns blue litmus to red.
What name is given to a substance which changes colour in acids and alkali's?
Universal Indicator. NB Litmus paper onl;y changes from red to blue.
What litmus paper?
Litmus is a natural dye indicator extracted from lichens.They react with acid (blue litmus turns red)& bases(red litmus turns blue) .Paper made with litmus dye indicators are called litmus paper and used in chemical laboratories.
