It'll prevent its deterioration. It is a conserving agent
Universal indicator changes to green when sodium bicarbonate is added.
When sodium is added to water, it reacts vigorously, releasing hydrogen gas and forming sodium hydroxide. The solution will become alkaline due to the formation of sodium hydroxide. When universal indicator is added, it will change color to indicate a high pH level, typically turning purple or blue for strong alkaline solutions.
When litmus is added to a solution of borax, it will turn blue. This indicates that the solution is basic or alkaline in nature. Borax, also known as sodium borate, is a weak base that can increase the pH of a solution.
It turns from its original blue colour to red.
Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions. When added to sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, the phenolphthalein will turn pink to indicate that the solution is basic.
The indicator will change color to indicate when just enough acid has been added to neutralize the sodium hydroxide. For example, phenolphthalein will turn colorless in an acidic solution, indicating that the base has been neutralized.
When sodium hydroxide is added to universal indicator solution, it causes the indicator to turn blue because sodium hydroxide is a strong base. The blue color represents a high pH level, indicating that the solution has become more alkaline due to the presence of hydroxide ions released by the sodium hydroxide.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate It is alkaline and will therefore turn universal indicator purple or blue
Starch indicator is added after sodium thiosulphate in iodometric titrations to help visualize the endpoint of the reaction. Starch reacts with any excess iodine produced at the endpoint, forming a dark blue-black color, allowing for easier detection of when all the thiosulphate has reacted.
When methyl orange is added to sodium hydroxide, the color of the solution changes from red (acidic) to yellow (basic). This indicates that the solution has become more alkaline due to the reaction between the sodium hydroxide and the indicator. Methyl orange is an acid-base indicator that changes color based on the pH of the solution.
Sodium Chloride a.k.a. table salt or sea salt is neutral and so Universal Indicator will go Green with a Ph 7
The purple color in sodium hydroxide solution is an indicator of the presence of phenolphthalein, which turns pink in basic solutions. When phenolphthalein is added to sodium hydroxide solution, it reacts with the hydroxide ions in the solution to form the purple color.
