Why might a scientist prefer to use Universal Indicator rather than a different indicator like litmus?

Litmus only differentiates between acidic and alkaline solutions. It does not give an accurate value of the degree of acidity of alkalinity. Universal Indicator can help measure the pH of the given solution as it does not just change from red to blue and vice versa, but in solution has a range of colours.

An American scientist cannot understand an equation written by a Chinese Scientist true or false?
False. Chemistry and math are universal languages made up of symbols.
Why do scientist have different views?
to explain to the people what they found out and that person only.
What are the different attitude of good scientist?
scientific attitude
List 4 different types of scientist?
Biologist, Chemist, Physicist, Astronomer.
Was a scientist's lifestyle a cause or an effect of their brilliance in their field of interest?
Scientists have very different life styles, one from another. There is no single "scientific lifestyle." So how a given scientist lives might be either a cause or effect of that scientist's brilliance - presuming that scientist is brilliant, not all are - or it may have no relation at all to how brilliant a scientist is.
How are universal indicator and the pH scale linked?
its linked because universal scale is specificly diifferent in colour and scientist use it as acid tester also alkali.the ph scale is for testing if a indicator is a indicator
What colour does the universal indicator go with a lot of acid?
The universal indicator goes bright red. I thought it was dark red lol =D i joke! i knew it was bright red. that's what mr. bayes, my science teacher said. he used to be a scientist
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.
A scientist working in a lab wants to determine the precise pH of a solution what tool should the scientist use to measure?
A pH meter
Why do scientist look for signs off water on other planets?
Liquid water is an indicator that there is probably life present.
When and or why would a scientist use a pH indicator like phenol red instead of a definitive reading from a probe or litmus paper?
Maybe BIll DID IT!
