Acidity does not in itself have any color, and there is no specific pH at which a solution will necessarily change color (temporarily or permanently) however, there are some chemicals called indicators which can be added to a solution in order to create colors that will react to changes in pH. Since there are a number of different indicators that you can use, again there is no specific pH, it depends upon what you are using.

In a titration when does the indicator change color?

when the equivalence point of a titration is achieved.. Added: (More precisely:) The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of base equal the number of moles of acid. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'. If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be exactly as near as possible at the equivalence point. The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it. This is because the pH of the solution changes very rapidly close to the equivalence point. Therefore, the indicator will change color very close to the equivalence point because of the steepness of the pH change


Why the titration process should be done drop by drop?

Around the expected equivalence point of the titration, you need to drop the solution very slowly and mix the solutions very well because, around the equivalence point, just one drop of solution from the buret can make a radical pH change in the mixed solution. If the color of the solution in the erlenmeyer flask changes, record the volume of the solution in the buret and add a few drops of the solution to make sure the the equivalence point you found is correct.


How does the equivalence point of a titration differ from its end point?

The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of base equal the number of moles of acid. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'. If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be exactly as near as possible at the equivalence point. The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it.

What is auto indicator?

Auto indicator is a substance which remaining in a titration as a standard solution or a distandard solution shows ending point of a reaction by changing its color.


When to use back-titration instead of direct titration?

When you have passed the tipping point and the color indicator turns from it's color to the clear color of the original solution. Then you back titrate to color again.

What is a rocks name with rainbow crystals inside it?

Phantom quartz crystal, they form from changes in solution as the point is growing in the limestone strata, as the mineralization changes so dose the color of the phantom coated point in the point, and so on tell the solution aquifer has stop flow of sediment in solution. Many times if a stone shows a prism or rainbow effect. The stone is cracked. You are seeing the prism effect reflections. Pretty. But unstable.


What happens to the color of the FeCl2 when the equivalence point is reached?

FeCI2 is a combination of iron and hydrochloride. This solution starts out as a yellowish green color. When the equivalence point is reach the solution turns to an orange brown color.

What is the tendency of a solution to change the melting point of a solid called?

I don't think a solute changes the melting point of a solid. A solute dissolves a solid.

What is the theoretical achromatic point of salivary amylase?

If we add salivary amylase to any solution ( eg:iodine solution) the colour of solution changes to blue.THE TIME TAKEN BY THE SALIVARY AMYLASE TO CHANGE ITS(iodine solution) COLOUR TO BLUE IS CALLED ACROMATIC POINT OF SALIVARY AMYLASE. ie, the time upto which the solution is colourless and after that it gains blue colour.
