A student adds a few drops of the universal indicator to a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid in the way shown here. He would observe that the colour of the solution changes form colourless to:(1) red(2) yellow(3) violet(4) green
"\n
Correct answer: (1) red
Explanation: Universal indicator is used to test the pH of unknown solutions. Acids give red color with universal indicator.
