The video tutorial demonstrates how to identify an unknown solid by examining its chemical and physical properties. The process involves using known solids and liquids, observing their reactions, and employing a color indicator to highlight differences. The experiment emphasizes the importance of avoiding cross-contamination and accurately recording observations. The final step involves comparing the unknown solid's reactions to those of known substances to determine its identity.

What is the purpose of using a color indicator in this experiment?

• To identify the physical properties of the solids
