Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.
