What food can be used as a universal indicator?
Red cabbage, blueberrys strawberrys most other berrys
Why is the universal indicator more useful than the red cabbage?
The universal indicator is better than the red cabbage indicator because the universal indicator has a wider range of pH that it can explain why a substance is acidic or basic. The red cabbage indicator only tests the substance if it is an acid or a base. Also, the universal indicators are made carefully and it is manufactured in a precise manner so the results are very reliable. Red cabbage indicators will vary in concentration which could cause errors to occur in determining the pH of a substance.
What does red cabbage indicator do that other indicators don't?
Nothing, but red cabbage is a simple pH indicator at home (red in acidic solutions).
PH indicator made at home?
You can make a simple pH indicator at home using red cabbage. There are a few other plants that will change colours in different pH levels.
What is the difference between an indicator and a universal indicator?
A pH meter uses a probe and voltmeter to measure pH digitally. Universal indicator is a mix of indicators that change colour to indicate the pH of the solution. pH meters are accurate and will detect changes quickly, whereas universal indicator is slow to change colour to indicate pH change.
What colour will universal indicator turn when acid is mixed with alkali?
Universal indicator will turn green when an acid is mixed with an alkali. This green color indicates a neutral pH level which is achieved when the acid and alkali have neutralized each other.
What colour would bee stings turn universal indicator?
Bee stings would likely turn the universal indicator red, indicating acidity. This is because bee venom is acidic due to its high content of formic acid and other compounds.
What happens to all acids when an indicator is added?
universal indicator goes from yellow to dark red when put in an acid. there are many other indicators that all go different colours
What can you use to identify bases and acids other than litmus paper?
You can use pH paper or pH probes to identify bases and acids. These tools provide a more quantitative measurement of pH compared to litmus paper, which gives a visual color change. Additionally, you can use universal indicator solution, which changes color depending on the pH of a solution.
Why is the universal indicator better than other indicators?
Because universal shows how strong or weak a substance is. Litmus just shows if its Alkaline or Acid. ps a 12 yr old wrote this.
How are universal indicators useful to scientist?
An Universal Indictator is more helpful because it shows the exact amount of acidity. Other indictators (example the red and blue litmus) just indicates whether or not the solution is acidic. The universal indicator gives you a specific color to which you can match a pH number therefore, telling you how acidic the soultion is.
What color is nitric acid on the universal indicator?
The colour of nitric acid on the universal indicator is red.In the event you work around nitric acid, please heed these warnings: STRONG OXIDIZER. CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. CORROSIVE. LIQUID AND MIST CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO ALL BODY TISSUE. MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. INHALATION MAY CAUSE LUNG AND TOOTH DAMAGE.
