  2. -Indicators are substances that can be used to determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral. Types of Indicators • Litmuspaper Has a special dye on it that changes colors in the presence of an acid or base. Blue litmus paper turns red in an acid and stays blue in a base. (Remember:Blue to RedAcid (BRA)) Red litmus paper turns blue in a base and stays red in an acid. (Remember: Red to BlueBase (RBB)) Blue and red litmus paper turn violet in a solution that is neutral (neither an acid or base).

  3. Types of Indicators (continued) 2. pHpaper • Has a range of colors depending on the pH of the solution. • The color of the paper is compared to the chart on the vial to determine the pH. 3. Phenolpthalein • Is used to test for the presence of a base. • It is a colorless chemical that turns magenta(bright pink) in a base. • Stays colorless in neutral or acidic solutions.

  4.
