Solution

To identify the three liquids using turmeric indicator, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the turmeric indicator solution by mixing a small amount of turmeric powder with water. Stir the mixture until the turmeric is well dissolved.

  2. Take a small amount of each liquid in separate test tubes or containers.

  3. Add a few drops of the turmeric indicator solution to each liquid.

  4. Observe the color change in each liquid after adding the turmeric indicator.

  • If the liquid turns reddish or pink, it indicates the presence of an acid, most likely hydrochloric acid.
  • If the liquid turns yellow or brown, it indicates the presence of a base, most likely sodium hydroxide.
  • If the liquid remains unchanged or turns slightly yellow, it indicates the presence of a neutral substance, most likely the sugar solution.

By observing the color change in each liquid after adding the turmeric indicator, you can identify the hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and sugar solution.
