Indicator is a substance used to show the presence of a chemical substance or ion by its colour. Acid-base indicators are compounds, such as phenolphtaleine and methyl orange, that change colour reversibly, depending on whether the solution is acidic or basic. Oxidation-reduction indicators are substances that show a reversible colour change between oxidized and reduced forms.

A substance that is used to determine how acidic or alkaline a solution is by changing colour. The most common indicator is litmus paper, but others include methyl orange and universal indicator. Ketone : A family of chemicals that are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and containing a carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom with a double bond (C=O). However, this double bond must not be at the end of the molecule, as that chemical would be known as an aldehyde. Latent Heat : The heat that is absorbed by a chemical as it melts, evaporates or boils, or the heat that a chemical gives off when it condenses or freezes.
