Question

what colour tumeric gives if we added acid to it​

Answer 1

ANSWER:-

There is no change in colour observed when acid is added to turmeric.

Turmeric is a natural indicator used to differentiate between acidic and basic solutions.

Turmeric will turn red in alkali, but is yellowish in both acid and neutral solutions. With turmeric as indicator we cannot differentiate between acid and neutral solutions.

Answer 2

Answer:

If turmeric is added to an acidic solution, it stays its usual yellow colour. Add it to an alkaline solution, however, and it changes colour from yellow to red. Curcumin is again the chemical culprit behind this effect. This time, it's a subtle change in its chemical structure that's responsible.
