The indicator that gives you the range of colors for different pH numbers is called universal indicator. It is a mixture of several indicators that changes color over a wide pH range.
An indicator changes color at a specific pH range. To determine the endpoint of a neutralization reaction, an indicator that changes color near the neutral pH of 7 would be used. The reaction is stopped when the indicator changes color, indicating that the acid and base have been neutralized.
The usual range of the color change on the indicator is between 1.5-2 pH units because of the sensitivity of the indicators. The universal indicator is used in most test.
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.
The universal indicator was developed by Arnold J. Olsen in 1933. It is a mixture of several different indicators that change color over a wide range of pH levels.
One limitation of universal indicator paper is that it may not provide a precise numerical pH value but rather a color change indicating a range of pH levels.
No, it is true. Indicator paper is used to identify acids and bases by changing color in response to the pH of the solution. It can help determine whether a substance is acidic, basic, or neutral based on the color change.
Indicator paper is a common name for litmus paper. Litmus paper tests pH. The color range is red to purple, when red is very acidic (pH of 1) and purple is very basic (pH of 14). In between the spectrum are the other pH values. Green is neutral (a pH of 7). Yellow and orange are acids also, ranging from a pH of 2-6. Teal and blue are bases, with pH ranging from 8-13. Hope this helps!
The pH range over which an indicator changes color is its transition range. This is the range of pH values over which the indicator molecule shifts between its acidic and basic forms, resulting in a visible color change.
Universal pH paper is a type of indicator paper that changes color based on the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It covers a wide pH range and can be used to quickly determine the approximate pH of a liquid.
An indicator is a substance that changes color in response to acidity or alkalinity of a solution. By adding an indicator to a solution, you can observe the color change which helps distinguish between acids (low pH, turn red litmus paper blue) and bases (high pH, turn blue litmus paper red). This color change occurs at a specific pH range for each indicator, allowing you to determine whether the solution is acidic or basic.
An indicator is a substance that changes color in response to changes in acidity or alkalinity (pH). In the presence of acids, indicators change color to indicate acidity, and in the presence of bases, they change color to indicate alkalinity. This color change helps to visually determine the pH of a solution.
Acids typically change the color of an indicator by donating a hydrogen ion (H+) to the indicator molecule, altering its structure and causing a shift in color. The specific color change depends on the pH range of the indicator and its chemical properties.
Universal indicator paper can be used to identify substances that have a pH in the range of 1 to 14. It changes color based on the pH level of the substance it comes into contact with, allowing for quick and easy identification of acids, bases, or neutral solutions.

red
Chlorine turns moist universal indicator paper red, then bleached. It has the same effect on blue litmus paper (red then bleached). this shows it is an acidic gas and so when reacts with sodium for example (an alkali metal) makes sodium chloride (salt).
