Is there more than one indicator that changes colour in acids or alkalis?

No, many types of color indicators are known.


What is the purpose of an indicator in science?

An indicator usually means a substance which changes colour depending on what other substances are present. The most common type are acid/alkali indicators such as litmus, which is red in acids and blue in alkalis.


What substance like litmus will change colour in acids and alkalis?

Red cabbage juice can change color in acids and alkalis, turning red in acids and blue or green in alkalis. This is due to a pigment called anthocyanin that reacts with hydrogen ions in acidic solutions and hydroxide ions in alkaline solutions, causing a color change.


Do acids react with alkalis in a combustion reaction?

No, acids and alkalis do not react in a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions involve a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light. Acids and alkalis typically do not react in this way.


Does Neutral mean safe?

Not really. On the pH scale of Acids and Alkalis, Neutral is the green colour at which a liquid is neither Acid nor Alkalis.


Does acids react with alkalis in a combustion reaction?

No, acids and alkalis do not react in a combustion reaction. Combustion is a chemical reaction that involves a substance combining with oxygen to produce heat and light. Acids and alkalis react in neutralization reactions, where they form water and a salt.


Do acids counteract alkalis?

Yes, acids neutralize alkalis and inverse.


What are the changes to an indicator when acids and alkali are mixed?

When acids and alkalis are mixed, the pH of the solution changes. Indicators such as litmus paper will change color based on the new pH. Acids turn blue litmus paper red, while alkalis turn red litmus paper blue.

Which acid does not contain H ion?

All acids contain H+ but stronger acids contain more than weaker acids. Alkalis contain OH-. In stronger alkalis there is more OH- and in weaker, there is less. This is why pH7 is neutral - the H+ and the OH- form H2O which is a neutral substance.
