A universal indicator indicates the pH of a substance in a more complex way than most pH indicators. Instead of changing colors if the pH of a substance it is exposed to is above or below a certain pH point, a universal indicator changes to a color that is calibrated to indicate the pH level of the substance.
A universal indicator is typically composed of water, methanol, propan-1-ol, phenolphthallien sodium salt, methyl red sodium salt, phenol,4,4'-(3h-2,1-benzoxathiol-3-ylidene)bis2-bromo--methy l-6-(1-methylethyl)-, s,s-dioxide, monosodium salt, and phenol,4,4'-(3h-2,1-benzoxathiol-3-ylidene)bis5-methyl2-(1-m ethylethyl)-, s,s-dioxide, monosodium salt.
Due to properties in several of its ingredients, the universal indicator is a flammable liquid with some health hazards. It can irritate the respiratory tract if inhaled or burned, and repeated or prolonged contact can cause kidney damage or skin damage. In addition to its normal flammability, the universal indicator sometimes forms explosive peroxides.
1. Very acidic - Red
2. Acidic - Orange/Yellow
3. Neutral - Green
4. Basic/base/alkali - Blue
5. Very basic/base/alkali - Purple
WOW real smooth you just copied and pasted this off the first website you found :|
What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that strong acids turn universal indicator paper purple?
False. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of a substance. Strong acids turn universal indicator paper red, orange, or yellow depending on the strength of the acid. Purple is not a color associated with strong acids on universal indicator paper.
What colour does sugar turn on the universal indicator?
Sugar typically turns yellow on universal indicator paper, indicating that it is acidic.
What effect does hydrochloric acid have on universal indicator paper?
Hydrochloric acid will typically turn universal indicator paper red, indicating a low pH or acidity. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of the solution it comes into contact with, with red indicating a strong acid.
Does a strong base turn a universal indicator paper purple?
Yes, a strong base will turn universal indicator paper purple. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of the solution it is exposed to, and a strong base will cause it to turn purple, indicating a high pH.
Will strong acids turns universal indicator paper red?
Yes, strong acids will turn universal indicator paper red due to the high concentration of hydrogen ions present in the solution. Universal indicator paper changes color in response to the pH of the solution it is exposed to.
Is it true or false that strong acids turn universal indicator paper purple?
False. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of a substance. Strong acids turn universal indicator paper red, orange, or yellow depending on the strength of the acid. Purple is not a color associated with strong acids on universal indicator paper.
Why was universal indicator paper used to test the pH rather than placing universal indicator solution into the mixture?
Use of paper avoid the contamination of the sample.
What are acidic indicators?
Universal indicator or litmis paper
What colour does sugar turn on the universal indicator?
Sugar typically turns yellow on universal indicator paper, indicating that it is acidic.
What effect does hydrochloric acid have on universal indicator paper?
Hydrochloric acid will typically turn universal indicator paper red, indicating a low pH or acidity. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of the solution it comes into contact with, with red indicating a strong acid.
Does a strong base turn a universal indicator paper purple?
Yes, a strong base will turn universal indicator paper purple. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of the solution it is exposed to, and a strong base will cause it to turn purple, indicating a high pH.
Is universal indicator paper the same as blue litmus paper?
No totally different, universal indicator is a mixture of chemical which shows the precise p.H of a substance, blue litmus paper reveals whether the substance is acidic or alkaline.
How are acids and bases tested?
universal indicator or litmus paper
How can you test for an alkaline or acid?
With a universal indicator or with litmus paper.
Will strong acids turns universal indicator paper red?
Yes, strong acids will turn universal indicator paper red due to the high concentration of hydrogen ions present in the solution. Universal indicator paper changes color in response to the pH of the solution it is exposed to.
What makes universal indicator paper turn red?
Universal indicator paper turns red when the solution has a low pH, indicating that it is acidic. The red color is a result of the indicator's chemical reaction with hydrogen ions in the solution.
What colour would ammonia gas turn universal indicator paper?
Ammonia gas would turn universal indicator paper blue or purple depending on the concentration of ammonia present.
