Chemicals can be acidic, neutral or basic depending on how many hydrogen ions they have. Hydrogen ions are really just protons, a small particle that has a positive charge. Scientists can find out whether a chemical is acidic, neutral or basic by testing its pH. They use a special paper, called litmus paper, to do the pH test.

MORE FACTS

Acid solutions have a pH of less than 7 (and turns blue litmus paper red) A neutral has a pH of 7. Basic solutions has a pH more than 7 (and turns red litmus blue)

Do you know what pH stands for?

pH means power of hydrogen. Therefore, using litmus paper gives an idea of how much hydrogen or protons is in a solution.

What is an acid?

An acid is a chemical that has plenty of protons in solution. Protons have a positive charge this is what makes a solution acidic solution. Most acid chemicals have a sour taste. In fact, the word "acid" comes from the Latin word acidus which means "sour".
Examples of acids are: lemon juice and vinegar.

What is an alkali?

An alkali the opposite of an acid. It is a chemical that does not have a lot of protons in a solution. Instead, a basic solution which has the ability to accept plenty of protons. An alkalis is a base that can dissolve in water. Examples of alkali are: toothpaste and household cleaners

Testing for pH values

Paper
1. Red Litmus paper
2. Blue Litmus paper
3. Universal Indicator

Solutions
4. Phenolphthaein solution
5. Methyl Orange (pH 2.9-4.6)
6. Bromothymol blue (pH 6.0(yellow) to pH 7.6(blue)

1. Wash apparatus with distilled water.
2. Put soil into beaker.

3. Add distilled water into beaker and stir.
4. Placed the folded filter paper on top of a new beaker.

5. Pour the mixture into the filtered paper.

6. Wait for mixture to be filtered.

7. Use a dropper to place various test solutions and paper into six different test tubes.
8. Use another dropper to place filtrate into the six test tubes.

9. Use tweezer to take tested paper out of the test tube to place in zip lock bag
10. Take pictures of tested solution.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Tada! We left it there!

We dug at 1.45 PM TODAY! The location is the near C3 staircase. I THINK is C3 la. Its the spot that Huimui suggested! Looks like joysticks right? We downloaded the data! The last time was 231205. So today is the LAST day! I didn't get to meet mrchua. They call having meeting I think! The staffroom is empty!

BYEBYE!

WE = Jiawen and me.
