How do you test pH levels of water?
Universal indicator or litmus paper are the most common methods. You can get pH paper...the color of the paper correlates to certain pH's. pH paper is more accurate 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.
