Bromthymol blue is blue in a basic solution.


When will Bromthymol blue turn yellow?

Bromthymol blue turns yellow in acidic conditions with a pH below 6.0.


What happens when bromthymol blue is exposed to CO2?

When bromothymol blue is exposed to CO2, it undergoes a color change. In the presence of CO2, bromothymol blue turns from blue to yellow due to the formation of carbonic acid. This color change can be used as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.


Is bromthymol blue living?

No, bromthymol blue is not a living organism. It is a chemical compound commonly used as a pH indicator in laboratories to detect changes in acidity or alkalinity in a solution.


Can reagent bromthymol blue or phenolphthalein could be considered to be an acid indicator?

Phenolphthalein is typically used as a base indicator as it changes color in the presence of bases. Bromthymol blue can be used as both an acid and a base indicator, with different color changes for each.


What color is the bromthymol blue solution before and after you exhaled into it?

The color of the bromthymol blue solution or blue btb is yellow after you exhaled into it..:)


Why did we use bromthymol blue in this experiment?

Bromthymol blue was used in the experiment as an indicator to monitor changes in pH. It changes color in response to pH changes, turning from blue to yellow in an acidic environment and blue to green in a neutral to basic environment. This allows us to visually track any changes in pH during the experiment.


Can bromthymol blue be used as a stain for a cheek cell in compound microscopy?

No, bromthymol blue is typically used as a pH indicator, not a stain for cells. To stain cheek cells for microscopy, dyes like methylene blue or eosin are commonly used as they specifically bind to cellular components and enhance contrast for better visualization.


When mixed with a drop of bromthymol blue what will cause the indicator to turn from blue to yellow?

An acidic solution will cause bromthymol blue to turn from blue to yellow. This color change occurs due to a change in the pH of the solution, with acidic conditions resulting in the indicator changing to a yellow color.


How do you think bromothymol blue solution works?

Bromthymol Blue, when heated in a solution, indicates carbon dioxide. If there is carbon dioxide in the solution, it will turn bright yellow (when heated).


Why doest fresh water containing bromothymol blue turns yellow?

Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) is an acid. Bromothymol blue turns yellow as HCl is placed in it. Acids change the color of bromothymol blue from green-yellow, depending on whether it is a strong acid or a weak acid.


How one might use bromthymol blue and phenolphthalein to test the ph of water in a swimming pool?

Having just done an experiment in class I think I can answer this. In a test tube collect some swimming pool water then add some bromthymol blue and phenolphthalein and using pH paper dip it in the solution to determine the pH.
