Answer:

it was more acidic

Step-by-step explanation:

changing the pH of the solution and making it more acidic results in the color of the solution changing it from blue to yellow

solution is Bromothymol blue

in a ph below 6 it turns yellow because

a ph below 6 is acidic

a ph above 7.6 its blue because

a ph above 7.6 is basic

Bromothymol blue is made in a basic solution, so it starts out as blue, thus the name 'blue'. It changes to yellow in acidic conditions
