Acidic and basic solutions can be detected using substances called acid-base indicators. Perhaps you are familiar with litmus paper, a common indicator. The active chemical in litmus is made from a natural substance found in lichens, which are living organisms. The litmus is appplied to paper to make it more convenient to use. There are many other naturally occurring substances that can also act as acid-base indicators PH indicators can include rose petals, day lilies, tea, red cabbage, beets radishes rhubarb, red grapes, red onions, blueberries, etc. MANY THINGS!! :)
What else can I help you with?
How indicators works?
pH indicators change their color according to the pH of a solution.
How many types of indictors are used in titration?
There are two main types of indicators used in titration: color indicators and pH indicators. Color indicators change color at specific pH ranges to indicate the endpoint of the titration, while pH indicators change color based on the pH of the solution.
How are pH indicators classified?
pH indicators are classified based on the pH range over which they change color. They can be classified as either acidic, basic, or universal indicators. Acidic indicators change color in acidic solutions, basic indicators change color in basic solutions, and universal indicators change color over a wide pH range.
Why can't a single indicator be used to tell the pH of a solution?
A single indicator cannot be used to accurately determine the pH of a solution because indicators change color over a range of pH values rather than at a specific pH. Different indicators have varying color changes at different pH ranges, so using multiple indicators or pH meters provides a more precise measure of the pH of a solution.
What is acid-base indicators?
These indicators change the color depending on the pH of the solution.
What can indicators identify?
Indicators are used frequently for testing pH; but many other indicators exist for other compounds or ions.
Why doesn't turps react with pH indicators?
most pH indicators are polar, whereas turps is non-polar so it doesnt mix well
What will change color in the presence of an acid or a base?
pH indicators change the color depending upon acidity or basicity.
Where do you use pH indicators in real life?
checking the pH level in a chlorinated pool
Examples of plant indicators for measuring pH values?
a plant pH indicator is onion
What compound changes color when used to determine the pH of a substance?
There are a variety of indicators used to determine change in pH. Different indicators change during certain ranges of pH. For example, phenolphthalein turns from clear to pink in a basic solution (approximately 7.8 to 9). There are universal indicators that cover the whole pH scale.
Dyes with pH sensitive colors are used as?
pH indicators in chemistry to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution. These dyes change color depending on the pH of the solution, making them useful for identifying pH levels in experiments or quality control.
