Here's why:
* Universal indicator is a mixture of different dyes that changes color depending on the pH of the solution.
* pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
* pH 0-6 is acidic
* pH 7 is neutral
* pH 8-14 is alkaline (basic)
* Orange on the universal indicator scale corresponds to a pH of around 4-5, which indicates a slightly acidic solution.
Examples of substances that would turn universal indicator orange:
* Vinegar (acetic acid)
* Lemon juice (citric acid)
* Tomato juice
* Weak solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl)
