A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually. Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydrogen ions (H+) in the Arrhenius model. Normally, the indicator causes the color of the solution to change depending on the pH. Indicators can also show change in other physical properties; for example, olfactory indicators show change in their odor. The pH value of a neutral solution is 7.0.
The pH scale. It is possible to tell if a solution is acidic or alkaline by using an indicator. An indicator is a substance which has different colours when it is in acidic or alkaline conditions. Litmus is probably the most well-known indicator. This is red in acids and blue in alkalis.
