Here's a neat one:

2 CrO4-2 (aq) + 2 H+(aq) <-----> Cr2O7-2 (aq) + H2O (l)

This is the reaction between chromate ions, CrO4-2 (aq) which are yellow, and dichromate ions, Cr2O7-2 (aq) which are orange.

Since we have H+ ions on the left side of the equation, all we have to do is adjust the pH of the solution and watch the color shift from yellow to orange and back again.

If we add drops of HCl to the system, we will ...
