It depends on what indicator you use. An alkaline solution will have a pH-value >7. So if you're using BTB, it'll be blue. If you're using Fenolftalein, then it'll be pink.

What colour is sodium hydroxide when you add universal indicator?

When you add universal indicator to sodium hydroxide, it will typically turn purple or dark blue in color, indicating that the solution is strongly alkaline.


How do you make acidic water alkaline?

Alkaline water contains more oxygen than hydrogen, but adding oxygen to the water does not make it alkaline. There are several minerals and natural ingredients one can add to their water to make it alkaline.


What will happen to the color of sodium bicarbonate if phenol red is add?

If phenol red is added to sodium bicarbonate, the color of the solution will change based on the pH. In an acidic solution, phenol red will appear yellow, in a neutral solution it will be red, and in an alkaline solution (such as when sodium bicarbonate is added), it will turn a pink or magenta color.


How to check pH value using universal indicator?

To check pH value using universal indicator, you can add a few drops of the indicator to the solution you want to test. The color it turns will indicate the approximate pH of the solution based on the color chart provided with the indicator. Match the color of the solution to the chart to determine the pH value.


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.

How do you raise pH of a solution?

Add an alkaline


When the reaction with potassium had finished what would happen if you added universal indicator solution to the water?

If you add universal indicator solution to the water after the reaction with potassium, the indicator will change color depending on the pH of the solution. Potassium reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide, which is a strong base. The solution will likely turn purple or blue indicating a high pH.


What would happen to the overall pH if you dumped a strong acid into a solution that was slightly alkaline?

The final pH of the mixture will depend on how much of the strong acid you add. The initial amount of acid will neutralize the alkaline solution, and if there is enough of the strong acid, the final pH will then become acidic, i.e. pH < 7.

How could you show that dissolving calcium in water results in a chemical change?

After the calcium dissolves add an indicator (such as litmus, methyl red or methyl orange) and observe the color, all of them imply that the solution is alkaline. As the pH value changes, a chemical reaction should be occurred. The alkaline substance is aqueous calcium hydroxide.


What could you add the solution to increase the pH?

Using common household chemicals as an example, to change a solution to become more acid, you could add vinegar, to change a solution to move to more of an alkaline you could add baking soda.
