Did you know turmeric can act as a natural indicator?
This simple experiment shows how turmeric changes color when it reacts with a basic substance like detergent.
What’s Happening:
When turmeric is mixed in water, it stays yellow.
But when you add detergent (a base), it turns reddish-brown.
The Science Behind It:
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which acts as a natural acid-base indicator.
• In neutral or acidic solutions → Yellow color
• In basic solutions → Reddish-brown color
Since detergent is basic, it causes the color change.
Why This is Important:
This concept is useful for understanding:
• Acids and Bases
• Indicators in Chemistry
• pH-related reactions
Real-Life Application:
Natural indicators like turmeric help identify whether a substance is acidic or basic without using lab chemicals.
📌 Try this at home and save it for exams.
