**Bromothymol Blue (BTB)** is a pH-sensitive synthetic dye commonly used as a **pH indicator** due to its distinct color changes in response to acidity or alkalinity. Its main applications include:
### **1. pH Indicator**
- **Color Changes**:
- **Yellow** (pH < 6.0, acidic)
- **Green** (pH ~7.0, neutral)
- **Blue** (pH > 7.6, alkaline)
- Used in:
- **Laboratory experiments** (titrations, acid-base reactions)
- **Educational kits** (to demonstrate pH changes)
- **Aquarium water testing** (monitoring pH levels)
### **2. Biological & Medical Applications**
- **Microbiology**: Detects metabolic activity (e.g., **CO? production** in bacterial cultures turns the medium yellow).
- **Cell Biology**: Used in some staining techniques.
- **Respiratory Physiology**: Occasionally used in **spirometry** to monitor CO? levels in breath.
### **3. Industrial & Environmental Uses**
- **Water quality testing** (monitoring pH in pools, aquariums, or wastewater).
- **Chemical process monitoring** (e.g., fermentation, industrial reactions).
### Safety & Handling
- **Not for ingestion—toxic if swallowed.
- Used in **dilute solutions** (typically 0.04% in ethanol/water).
