Acid-Base Indicators

As we continue our study of pH, we need to explore techniques to determine whether a chemical is an acid, a base, or neutral.  With yesterday’s Gizmo, students used digital pH paper to measure pH and then watched a video on how to prepare red cabbage indicator solution.  Today we will prepare the red cabbage indicator solution that we will use in the lab tomorrow.  In addition, students will read Lesson 117 in the textbook and answer exercise questions 1, 2, 3, and 6 in preparation for the Acid and Base Lab Report.
