Natural Indicators and Universal Indicators?

Answer: Chemical molecules called indicators change colour to indicate whether a substance is acidic or basic. When indicators are put to an acidic or basic solution, they change colour, and the colours change differently for acids and bases.

  • Natural indicators are indications that can be acquired from plants.
  • Universal indicators are a mixture of organic dyes that produce diverse colours at various hydrogen ion concentrations in solution.
