Answer:
Natural Indicator is a type of indicator that can be found naturally and can determine whether the substance is an acidic substance or a basic substance. Some examples of natural indicators are red cabbage, turmeric, grape juice, turnip skin, curry powder, cherries, beetroots, onion, tomato, etc.
Some flowers like hydrangeas can determine the acidity or basicity of the soil. These flowers become blue if the soil is acidic, purple if the soil is neutral and pink if the soil is basic. The intensity of the color depends on the amount of acid or base present in the soil. Soil which is highly acidic bears deep blue flowers, whereas soil which is highly basic yields deep pink flowers.
These natural indicators are used to detect the hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-) in a solution. Olfactory indicators can change their odor. Some examples of olfactory indicators are onion, vanilla extract, clove oil, etc.
