Question

define olfactory indicators. How are they different from litmus or methyl orange? give 2 example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Olfactory means 'a sense of smell'. Olfactory indicators are those which change their smell upon reaction with an acid or base. They are different from methyl orange or litmus as these solutions change their colour when they react with an acid or base whereas olfactory indicators show a decrease in smell upon reaction with a base, but with acids , the smell remains as it is.

Examples: Vanilla, Onion and Clove.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

There are certain substances whose odour (smell)changes in acidic or basic solutions. ... An olfactory indicator is a substance whose smell varies depending on whether it is mixed with an acidic or basic solution.

Ex: onion , vanilla essence , clove oil

Sodium Hydroxide turns red litmus to blue,so it is basic in nature. Litmus is a natural indicator whereas Methyl orange and phenolphthalein are synthetic indicators. Those substances whose smell or odour changes in acidic or basic solution are called olfactory indicators
