Indicators are used to test if something for example whether vinegar is an acid or alkali. Due to the pH scale, 1 - 3 is a strong acid, 4 - 6 is a weak acid, 7 is neutral, 8 - 10 is a weak alkali and 11 - 14 is a strong alkali.
Vinegar should turn orange when added with an indicator, with the pH of about 3.

RafaIndicators test for the presence or concentration of a specific substance in a sample. They provide a visual or measurable signal (such as color change or numerical value) to indicate the presence or absence of the substance being tested for.Indicators are commonly used in chemical analysis, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and quality control processes.

What are the different indicators used in the laboratory?
to test if a solution is acidic, alkaline or basic
Where can one buy a Dial Test Indicator?
Dial Test Indicators are used to measure angular displacement, can be either electronic (digital) or analog and can provide a large variety of accuracy and dial sizes. Dial Test Indicators can be purchased at hardware stores such as Home Depot or Builders Warehouse, electronics shops such as Radio Shack or through various online retailers such as FlexBar, Amazon and Little Machine Shop depending on the type of indicator required.
What can indicators identify?
Indicators are used frequently for testing pH; but many other indicators exist for other compounds or ions.
What are the indicators of a ppd test?
Indicators of a positive PPD (purified protein derivative) test for tuberculosis include a raised bump or hardened area at the injection site on the skin. The size of this reaction is measured after 48-72 hours and is considered positive if it exceeds a certain diameter, typically 5-15mm depending on the individual's risk factors. A positive PPD test suggests exposure to the bacteria that causes tuberculosis but does not confirm active disease; further testing is needed for diagnosis.
How do you prepare indicators frum plants?
To prepare indicators from plants, you can crush or grind the plant material and extract the pigment using a solvent like ethanol or water. The extracted solution can then be used to test for specific pH ranges by observing color changes in the presence of acids or bases. Some common plant-based indicators include red cabbage, turmeric, and beets.
