    The document discusses pH indicators and their use in determining the acidity or alkalinity of solutions. It provides a table showing the color changes of common pH indicators like litmus, methyl orange, and bromothymol blue at different pH levels. While indicators can distinguish between acidic and alkaline solutions, they cannot be used to precisely measure the pH value. Indicators are better for determining whether a solution is acidic, alkaline, or in a range of pH values.

    2. Question
    1. Does each indicator can be used to distinguish the pH of
    solutions?
    2. What is your conclusion?
    3. Troubleshooting

    1. Indicators can be used to distinguish alkaline solution and acid


    solution, but can not be used to ensure the pH value. This is
    because the color changes shown by these indicators do not quite
    mean at a certain pH.
    2. The strength of acids and bases can be distinguished using
    indicators. Indicators cannot be used to determine the pH value,
    exactly, but just to determine the acid/base or section of pH from a
    solution.

    4. Conclusion
    The strength of acids and bases can be distinguished using indicators.
    Indicators cannot be used to determine the pH value, exactly, but just to
    determine the acid/base or section of pH from a solution.
