Solution

A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually. Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions $H_{3} O^{+}$ or hydrogen ions $H^{+}$ in the Arrhenius model.
