How pH Indicators Work
- pH Scale: Measures hydrogen ion concentration from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic)
- Indicators: Weak acids or bases that change color at specific pH ranges
- Color Changes: Caused by structural changes in indicator molecules
- Universal Indicator: Mixture of indicators providing continuous color spectrum
- Transition Zone: pH range where indicator changes from one color to another
