because it creats the acid to move around which creats a magnesium oxide and the reading is more valid and concise

Why is a universal indicator more useful than litmus paper for measuring pH in some applications?

this is because it is more specific(Y):)


Why is universal indicator often more useful than litmus indicator?

Universal indicator can show a wider range of pH levels compared to litmus indicator, which can only indicate acidic or basic solutions. Universal indicator provides a full spectrum of colors corresponding to different pH values, making it more precise and versatile for measuring pH levels in various solutions.


Why universal indicator is more costly than litmus?

I suppose that the preparation procedure is more difficult.


What is an advantage of using a universal indicator to test the pH compared to using litmus paper?

A universal indicator covers a broader pH range compared to litmus paper, which only gives a rough indication of acidity. Universal indicators provide a more accurate and detailed measurement of pH levels.


Universal indicator is mostly preferred over litmus indicator why?

Universal indicator covers a wider pH range compared to litmus indicator, which only detects acidic or basic conditions. Universal indicator provides a more precise indication of the pH level of a solution by producing a range of colors across the pH scale.


What does an universal indicator tell you about an acid that litmus doesn't?

Universal indicator gives you an indication of the pH of the acid (i.e its 'strength') While both sulfuric acid and vinegar would turn litmus paper red, sulfuric acid would turn universal indicator red, pH of 1, while vinegar would turn it yellow-orange, pH of 4.


Why is a universal indicator better than a litmus?

coz universal indicator tells you whether its a strong or weak acid or alkali but litmus paper only tells you whether the sunstance is acid (red) or alkali (blue)


Is it true or false that acids will turn litmus paper red?

TRUE!!!! Litmus will turn BLUE in alkali. However, Litmus paper is a rather unsophisicated methof testing for acids/alkalis. Universal Indicatort will give a range of colours Red, orange, yellow, green , blue, purple indigo. for strong acid (red) through neutral (green) , to strong alkali (Indigo). It is more sensative to acid /alkali strength.


A substance that directly determines the acidity or alkalinity of a fluid?

Use a universal indicator or litmus paper. Litmus paper will turn red in acidic conditions and blue in alkali conditions. Universal indicator can give a more accurate PH reading than litmus paper.


How can we prepare litmus solution in lab?

To prepare a litmus solution in the lab, you can dissolve powdered litmus in distilled water to create a purple solution. Stir the mixture well to ensure the litmus is fully dissolved. Adjust the concentration of the solution by adding more litmus or water as needed.


What is the comparative and superlative universal?

more universal, most universal


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.
