Science Base and Acid

Aim: To test the Ph of a range of household chemicals

Method

Step 1: Add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. If a substance is solid or powdered you will need to mix it with a few drops of water before testing it.

Step 2: test the chemicals with the litmus paper

Step 3: test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator.

Results

Vinegar	Red	Red	Red
Fabric softener	red	red	orange
Floor cleaner	Violet	Violet	green
baking soda	blue	blue	Blue
Chemicals	Color in blue litmus	Color in red litmus	Color in universal indicator

Discussion

Vinegar is a weak acid due to it turning red in each experiment. 

Fabric softener is also a weak acid because it was red for the first two experiments but changing orange at the last one.

Floor cleaner is a base, turning purple means that its a base because base turns dark, like tukotahi

Baking soda is a base because it turns dark, again like tukotahi.

Conclusion

Yes It did work, I could of put less base in so it was only one color
