USING SCIENCE SKILLS
A student placed three cubes of agar that contained the indicator phenolphthalein in a beaker of vinegar for
ten minutes. The cubes were the following sizes: 3 cm3, 2 cm3, and 1 cm3. In the presence of an acid, such as
vinegar, phenolphthalein turns from clear to pink. After ten minutes, the student cut each cube open and
measured the distance that the vinegar had diffused into each cube. She then started to complete the data
table.
