Answer:
A. An indicator added to the solution turns green-blue.
Explanation:
A pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.
In chemistry, pH literally means the power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution; thus, specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of any chemical solution.
Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by the formula;
On a pH scale, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic and it's basic (alkaline) when it's pH is above 7.
A pH indicator can be defined as a compound (substance) that indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a solution by changing its color over a narrow range of pH values.
A pH range of 1 to 3 (1 - 3) represents a strong acid with a red color.
When an indicator added to a solution turns green-blue, it simply means that a weak base is present.
