Answer:
Acid - Base Indicators and Titrations
Acid - Base Indicators and Titrations Acid - Base indicators (also known as pH indicators) are substances which change colour with pH. They are usually weak acids or bases, which when dissolved in water dissociate slightly and form ions. Consider an indicator which is a weak acid, with the formula HIn.
Litmus paper is filter paper which has been treated with a natural water-soluble dye obtained from lichens. The resulting piece of paper, called "litmus paper", can be used as a pH indicator. ... Neutral litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and blue under alkaline conditions.

- Acid, any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes the colour of certain indicators (e.g., reddens blue litmus paper), reacts with some metals (e.g., iron) to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (acid catalysis
- In the more general Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory (1923), a base is a substance that can accept hydrogen cations (H+)—otherwise known as protons. This does include aqueous hydroxides since OH- does react with H+ to form water, so that Arrhenius bases are a subset of Brønsted bases
- Indicators are substances that change colour when they are added to acidic or alkaline solutions. Litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange are all indicators that are commonly used in the laboratory.
- Litmus is a water-soluble mixture of different dyes extracted from lichens. It is often adsorbed onto filter paper to produce one of the oldest forms of pH indicator, used to test materials for acidity.
