Question

Distinguish between a common acid base indicator and a universal indicator.

✓

Answer

A common acid base indicator and a universal indicator:
Acid base indicator like litmus tells us only whether a given substance is an acid or a base. Universal indicator gives an idea as to how acidic or basic a substance is. An universal indicator gives different colours with solutions of different p H values.
