Principle And Interpretation
Universal indicator is a mixture of dyes that changes colour gradually over a range of pH from 4-14. The colour is used to indicate pH directly (1). The main components of a Universal indicator, in the form of a solution, are thymol blue, methyl red, bromothymol blue and phenolphthalein. This mixture is important because, each component, loses or gains electrons depending upon the acidity or basicity of the solution being tested. It is beneficial to use this type of universal indicator in a colourless solution. This will increase the accuracy of indication (2). The indicator is used to determine the acidity or alkalinity of various substances such as soil, sewage, sludge, food etc. Solutions and liquids such as water, waste water, etc. Universal indicator is used more than other indicators because it has a wide range of results.
