reaction. A base is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water. A salt is the result of the
combination of an acid and a base. All three substances have different tastes, textures, and chemical properties.
22. Indicators are substances that change color based on the pH of the solution being tested. Different indicators
change colors at different levels, so certain indicators can be used, depending on the situation. For example, some
indicators can be used to distinguish between different kinds of bases, while others can distinguish between
different kinds of acids. Indicators can also be used in combination to give more accurate pH readings for a
particular substance
