Objective To determine whether cream of tartar, laundry detergent, and vinegar are neutral, bases, or acids.
Introduction This experiment will discuss whether cream of tartar, laundry detergent, and vinegar are neutral, bases or acids contingent on changes in color. Neutral substances are chemicals that have no properties of either acids or bases, have equal parts hydrogen and hydronium ions and don't change the color of litmus paper or other acid-base indicators. A base is a chemical species that donates electrons or hydroxide ions or that accepts protons. Bases tend to change the color of acid-base indicators to blue. An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Acids tend to change the

Materials Red cabbage leaves, large tray, powder laundry detergent, cream of tartar, vinegar, water, zip plastic bag, storage-grade, quart size, white piece of paper, 4 clear plastic cups, 3 small cups, 3 toothpicks, 1 dropper, 1 tablespoon and a permanent marker.
Procedure The listed materials were taken to a workstation and placed on a blue tray. Water was poured into the zip plastic bag. The red cabbage leaves were torn apart and crushed. They were then placed into the bag containing water. Pressure was then applied to the bag. The 8 cups were then placed on a piece of paper on the tray. The purple tinted water from the bag was then poured into the 5 clear plastic cups. The cream of tartar was then added to one of the 3 small cups. The vinegar was then added to the second small cup. The laundry detergent was then added to the last small cup. A toothpick was then dipped into the cream of tartar and then dipped into one of the 4 clear plastic cups. Observations were recorded. A separate toothpick was then dipped into the laundry detergent and then dipped into a different clear plastic cup than the last one. Observations were recorded. The final toothpick was then dipped
First students obtained 8 graduated cylinders and labeled them. Each one contained a different ratio of vinegar and water. These graduated cylinders with the liquid were weighed and recorded.Then, students obtained an Alka-Seltzer tablet and recorded its mass. Then one alka-seltzer tablet was dropped into each of the graduated cylinders. Students had to
1. Obtain 3 large tin bowls, 1 spoon, 1 pair scissors, 6 ketchup containers, 1 pipet, 3mL oleic acid, 6mL distilled water, 6 filter papers, and 30 sowbugs.
Title: Using pHydrion paper to test the pH of vinegar, distilled water, laundry detergent, milk, NaOH, Mr. Clean, Baking Soda, Ammonia, 7up, Gatorade, and 4 unknown substances.
The problem that was trying to be solved in this study deals with analyzing unknown solutions. In this particular case, a chemical company has several unknown solutions and to correctly dispose of them they need to know their properties. To figure out the properties several qualitative tests were performed throughout the study (Cooper 2012).
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe chemical changes in common consumer products to determine if the chemicals are basic, acidic, or remain neutral when mixed with other chemicals.
The materials used during the experiment included three plastic cups, three gummy bears, masking tape, marker, balance, calculator, tray, one plastic spoon, a measurement tray, and a ruler. The three plastic cups were used to hold the tap water, salt water, and sugar water. The masking tape and marker were used to label each cup with the
Our objective for the Sherlock Holmes Experiment was to illustrate that some chemicals can be identified or differentiated by simple chemical tests, such as solubility, pH, or color tests. In our group we had to test come common powders such as Alka-Seltzer, baking soda, flour, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and salt. Other chemicals that were used to do this experiment were vinegar, and Iodine 2 Solution. The equipment used to do this experiment was red litmus paper, and 5 test tubes per group.
3) Bag 3 will be filled with distilled water and beaker 3 will be filled two-thirds of distilled water. After the bags and beakers are prepared, the bags should not be placed in the beakers at the same time. Each bag will be weight before placing each bag in their correspondent beaker and the weight will be recorded, this process will be repeated every 15 minutes for a total of
However one beaker received 100 mL of Deionized water with a molarity of 0.0. Afterwards a cork borer was pushed through the potato and was twisted back and forth. Once the borer was filled it was removed from the potato. Pushing the potato cylinder out of the borer, this this step was repeated six more times in order to get seven undamaged potato cylinders. Using a sharp razor blade, the potato cylinders were both cut to a uniform length of about 5cm, and were removed of their potato skins. The potato pieces were also cut in half to give the cells a greater surface area in which it was easier to absorb the solution. After the cylinders were weighed on a balance and the data was recorded in Table 4. Using the razor blade each potato was cut lengthwise into two long halves. Then the potato pieces were transferred to the water beaker and the time they were submerged was recorded. This step was repeated for all potato cylinders in which the pieces were placed in solutions 0.1 to 0.6 M. The potatoes were incubated for ninety minutes. At the end of the incubation period the time was recorded. Then the potato piece was removed form the first sample. Next potato pieces were weighed the and the final weight was recorded in Table 4. This procedure was repeated until all samples had been weighed and recorded in the chronological order they were initially placed in the test solution. Afterwards the table was completed by recording the
The spinach plants were hole punched, mixed with 0.2% NaOH and dish detergent, placed in a syringe with the solution to have the oxygen
Table 2: Consists of color extract taken from a red cabbage for a natural indicator. The pH reading that was measured by using the pH meter and the result of the pH reading to determine whether the solution was acidic or basic.
Analysis: In this experiment, every substance tested positive for at least 1 organic compound. Corn oil tested positive for lipids. Honey and oats tested positive for starch. Honey, apple juice, and unknown 1 tested positive for sugar. Egg white, gelatin, and unknown 2 all tested positive for proteins. So, not a single substance didn't test positive for at least 1 organic compound. All the indicators used in this experiment change color when in the presence of a compound; therefore, they chemically react with the compound. No errors were made during this experiment

1. 5 sucrose solutions were made of increasing molarity: 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, 1.0M. 2. 50 mL of each unknown solution were poured into 5 separate cups. A slice of potato was placed into 5 equal cylinders. 3. The mass of the 5 potato cylinders were then recorded. 4. The cylinders were placed into the foam cups with solution and covered with plastic wrap. It is to be left overnight. 5. The room temperature was recorded in Celsius. 6. The cylinders are then to be removed from the cups and carefully blotted of any excess solution. 7. The mass of the potato cylinders were recorded afterwards.
Then, each group of students received the necessary materials to complete the experiment. When the students received the cups, they labeled cups to distinguish between the salt solution, distilled water, and control group. After weighing the cups and finding the mass of the cucumbers, the students poured 50 ml of water in one cup, 50 ml of salt solution in the other, and left the control cup empty. Then, the students placed the cucumbers into the cups and waited 30 minutes for the results. After the 30 minutes, the students removed the cucumbers from each solution and dried the cucumbers with paper towels. The students then weighed the cucumbers again and recorded their results. Lastly, the students found the difference from the original mass of the cucumbers and recorded their results.
