Indicators would work to determine the pH of colored substances. The color change may be difficult to read depending on the indicator used. Another alternative to adding a indicator to the substance would be to use a test strip.

Why must an indicator indicate for one substance only?

An indicator does not need to indicate for only one substance. Depending on the field, sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. If it is a drug test where an artificial drug is similar to a natural substance, then an indicator should test for just the illegal substance. In a mine, a number of valuable chemicals are found together. In that case a broad test can be used. You do not care if the chemical reaction shows if any of the desired chemicals are present. If the test is positive, you want to mine the ore. If it is negative, you will save your money.


Are rubies opaque?

Some rubies are opaque but these are considered to be low in value. A ruby that is high in value should be almost transparent and should have bright coloring.


How can you determine if your salmon is cooked properly?

You can determine if your salmon is cooked properly by checking its internal temperature with a food thermometer. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145F (63C) to be considered safe to eat. Additionally, the flesh should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when it is cooked through.


How can you determine the density of a substance?

To determine the density of a substance, you would divide the mass of the substance by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume. Measurements should be taken in units such as grams for mass and cubic centimeters for volume.


How you would determine that the distilleate collected is a pure substance?

Pure Substances Boil at a Constant Temperature while Mixtures do not, To determine if the Distillate is pure the Liquid distillate would be boiled and for example if the substance is water, it should begin boiling at exactly at 100 degrees celcius if it boils below or above that point it is not a pure substance

Why is the choice of the colorimetric indicator in an acid-base titration important?

The choice of colorimetric indicator in an acid-base titration is crucial because it must change color at the equivalence point, where the moles of acid and base are stoichiometrically equal. The indicator should have a pH range close to the pH at the equivalence point to ensure accurate endpoint detection. Using the right indicator helps to determine the endpoint precisely and enhances the accuracy of the titration results.


What should you do if you swallow the substance?

It depends on the substance.


If the equivalence point of a titration is 5 what range of pH should the indicator be?

An indicator should have a pKa close to the expected pH at the equivalence point. For a titration with an equivalence point at pH 5, an indicator with a pKa in the range of 4 to 6 would be suitable for visual detection of the endpoint.
