It turns yellow after we exhaled into the btb solution..:)
The color of the bromthymol blue solution or blue btb is yellow after you exhaled into it..:)
BTB stains hands and clothes. As carbon dioxide is absorbed from the breath into the solution, forming carbonic acid, the solution changes color from green to yellow.
it is a greenish color.
Bromothymol Blue (BTB)Bromothymol blue is an indicator, a substance that changes color as the pH of a solution changes. Bromothymol blue is yellow in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.BTB can be prepared by mixing 0.1 g (a pinch) of bromothymol blue powder in 10 mL of a 4% solution of sodium hydroxide.Add 20 mL of alcohol and dilute to 1 L with distilled water.The solution should be deep blue.If it is green, add sodium hydroxide solution drop by drop until the solution turns blue.Bromothymol blue can be purchased from scientific supply houses.CAUTION: Sodium hydroxide is corrosive; the BTB solution should be prepared in a laboratory. BTB stains hands and clothes. Have students wear goggles and follow safety precautions when using BTB solution.

yellow
the solution is basic
BTB is an acid indicator. by adding carbon dioxide to the solution, it will turn into carbonic acid (a weak acid) turns green in low concentration and yellow in high concentration.
