BTB indicator can indicate if a substance contains CO2.
BTB is and indicator that indicates if a weak acid is present, such as CO2. The BTB is blue when none is present and it will turn yellow when a weak acid is present.
Bromothymol blue, also known as BTB.
It depends on what indicator you use. An alkaline solution will have a pH-value >7. So if you're using BTB, it'll be blue. If you're using Fenolftalein, then it'll be pink.
It turns yellow after we exhaled into the btb solution..:)
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.
Soda effects BTB when you add it to the BTB. Soda has carbon dioxide in it, which makes it foamy. BTB is used as an indicator of chemicals with a weak acid and base. When you add the carbon dioxide it will change into a green like color.
BTB is and indicator that indicates if a weak acid is present, such as CO2. The BTB is blue when none is present and it will turn yellow when a weak acid is present.
Bromothymol blue, also known as BTB.
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.
BTB solution or bromothymol blue solution is an indicator for CO₂ turning a light green or yellow (extreme) depending on the amount of CO₂ indicated. As an student from a school that has recently done this experiment I can verify this information
