What colour does the universal indicator turn when in contact with water (neutral)?

A

green

24
Q

What colour does the universal indicator turn when in contact with acids?

orange/red/yellow

25
Q

What colour does the universal indicator turn when in contact with alkaines?

A

blue/purple

26
Q

When the universal indicator turns red, this shows that there are more ___ ions than ___ ions

A

There are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

27
Q

When the universal indicator turns blue, this shows that there are more ___ ions than ___ ions

A

There are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.

28
Q

When the universal indicator turns green, this shows that…

A

there is a equal amount of hydroxide and hydrogen ions.

29
Q

A swimming pool as a pH level of 8. Do you add water, acids and alkalines to make the soloution neutral?

A

Acids, because the soloution now is basic (pH level 7-14) and we need acids which has a lower pH level (pH level 0-6) to balance the average pH level out.

30
Q

A soloution was tested with red litimus paper and the paper stayed red. We can assume that the soloution must be acidic. Is this true?

A

No, because red litimus paper stays red when in contact with both acids and neutral soloutions. This means that the soloution could be either. You need to test it with blue litimus paper/univeral indicator to determine its components.
