Solution
Indicators do not get affected by salts because salts are neutral in nature. Indicators work only with acidic and basic substances.
For example:
| Indicator | Acidic substance | Basic substance |
| Phenolphthalein | colourless | turns pink |
| Methyl orange | methyl orange turns red | methyl orange turns yellow |
Concept: Bases (Alkalis)
