What is the name of the chemical which changes colour when it is mixed with acids or alkalis?
If you want the general term, it's "indicator". If you want a specific one ... methyl red, litmus, or bromothymol blue are some examples (there are lots of others).
What plant dye can be used to detect acids and alkalis?
The most common is Litmus. Litmus is extracted from various Lichens and is a good indicator of both acids and alkalis. Some naturally occurring substances indicate only acids or alkalis such as cochineal and curcumin. The common litmus paper is impregnated with the dye extract of the Lichen to act as an acidity or alkalinity indicator. All PH (acidity and alkilinity) measuring devices work based upon whether they accept or donate protons and as such are infact themselves acids or bases. For greater accuracy other dyes (other than the reactive element) are added to the PH detector which can be chemically engineered to give visible changes in colour at every step on the PH scale.
What is the specific name of universal indicator?
A Universal indicator is a pH indicator composed of a solution of several compounds that exhibits several smooth colour changes over a pH value range from 1-14 to indicate the acidity or basicity of solutions. A universal indicator is typically composed of water, propan-1-ol, phenolphthalein sodium salt, sodium hydroxide, methyl red, bromothymol blue monosodium salt, and thymol blue monosodium salt.
What is the name of the chemical that changes colour in acids and bases?
The chemical that changes color in acids and bases is called an indicator. Common indicators include litmus, phenolphthalein, and bromothymol blue. These substances change color in response to pH changes in a solution.
Are acids and alkalis the same?
No, acids and alkalis are not the same. Acids are compounds that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, whereas alkalis are compounds that release hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Acids have a pH less than 7, while alkalis have a pH greater than 7.
What is the purpose of an indicator in science?
An indicator usually means a substance which changes colour depending on what other substances are present. The most common type are acid/alkali indicators such as litmus, which is red in acids and blue in alkalis.
Chemical that changes colour in acids and bases?
It's an indicator.
What word describes chemicals which change colour in acids and alkalis?
acid-base indicators for all pHs: universal indicator for pH testing in general: indicator
What colour changes what acids and bases are added to rose indicator?
acids-magenta bases-green
What name is given to a substance which changes colour in acids and alkali's?
A substance that changes color in acids and alkalis is called an indicator. These are often used in laboratory settings to determine the pH of a solution based on the color change it undergoes when exposed to different levels of acidity or alkalinity.
What are the changes to an indicator when acids and alkali are mixed?
When acids and alkalis are mixed, the pH of the solution changes. Indicators such as litmus paper will change color based on the new pH. Acids turn blue litmus paper red, while alkalis turn red litmus paper blue.
Which colour of flower petal would be most useful to make an indicator for both acids and alkalis?
You can use rose, petunia, geranium etc. petals.

What is indicat?
Universal indicator changes colour in acids and alkalis. Its colour shows the strength of an acid or alkali. strong acid= redweak acid= orange / yellowneutral= greenweak alkali= turquoise / bluestrong alkali= deep blue / purple The strength of an acid or alkali is shown on the pH scale of numbers.

Does Neutral mean safe?
Not really. On the pH scale of Acids and Alkalis, Neutral is the green colour at which a liquid is neither Acid nor Alkalis.
