ā 8y agoif the bromthymol blue changed back to blue from a different color that means that different atoms of another element were in the air. if you tested the bb in a test tube and say it was turned yellow and then overnight it turned back to blue-green then it would mean that a certain amount of oxygen went into the test tube to reverse the change. if there was lots of oxygen in the air then the bb would turn completely blue since bb is not really blue but a weird green color.

To test the pH of water in a swimming pool using bromthymol blue, add a few drops of the indicator to a water sample. The color change will indicate the pH level. Phenolphthalein can be used similarly; a color change to pink indicates the presence of a base (high pH). Compare the color changes obtained from both indicators to assess the pH level accurately.
Heating the solution increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to faster movement and collision. This increased collision rate leads to a faster reaction between the indicator and any substances present that cause the color change from yellow to blue.
Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that turns green in neutral solutions. If the solution becomes more acidic or basic, it can cause the color to shift towards yellow or blue, respectively. Contaminants or impurities in the solution can also affect the color change.
The color change in Benedict's solution when heated is due to the reduction of copper ions in the solution. Initially, the blue-colored Cu(II) ions in Benedict's solution are reduced to form a reddish-brown precipitate of Cu(I) oxide. This color change indicates the presence of reducing sugars in the solution.
Bromothymol blue (BTB) can change color in the presence of carbon dioxide or acidic solutions, turning from blue to yellow. By observing the color change in a solution with BTB added, you can determine the presence of carbon dioxide or acidity levels, which can help identify certain gases like carbon dioxide in the solution.
Bromthymol blue is blue in a basic solution.
The color of the bromthymol blue solution or blue btb is yellow after you exhaled into it..:)
An acidic solution will cause bromthymol blue to turn from blue to yellow. This color change occurs due to a change in the pH of the solution, with acidic conditions resulting in the indicator changing to a yellow color.
Bromthymol blue is used as an indicator to detect the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a solution. It changes color in the presence of acidic conditions, which can indicate the presence of CO2 as it forms carbonic acid when dissolved in water.

Indicators change color based on the pH of the solution. You want to pick an indicator with a similar pKa (acid-dissociation constant) as the pH at which the reaction becomes what you desire it to be. Examples include phenolphthalein, bromthymol blue, and phenol red.
Phenolphthalein is typically used as a base indicator as it changes color in the presence of bases. Bromthymol blue can be used as both an acid and a base indicator, with different color changes for each.

A change in color properties allows certain materials to act as indicators. For example, pH indicators change color in response to the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, making them useful tools for determining the pH level of a substance.
When a substance is dipped into a pH solution, it will either change color due to a chemical reaction with the solution, or it may not show any visible change if the substance is neutral. This process helps determine the acidity or basicity of the substance based on the pH solution's color change.
