  • Universal Indicator Color Change with Sulfur Dioxide and Carbon Dioxide Solutions
    Here's how to figure out the color changes:

    * Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): When sulfur dioxide dissolves in water, it forms sulfurous acid (H2SO3), which is acidic.

    * Universal indicator in acidic solutions turns red.

    * Carbon Dioxide (CO2): When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is also acidic.

    * Universal indicator in acidic solutions turns red.

    Therefore, both sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide solutions would turn the universal indicator red.
