Red Cabbage Indicator
Subject/Concept: Chemistry/Acids-Bases, Indicators
Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory is to investigate the indicator properties of red cabbage and to classify
household acids and bases.
Materials:
 2 or 3 leaves of a red (purple) cabbage torn into small pieces.
 water
 blender
 6 clear glasses or plastic cups
 5 or more kitchen or food products (suggestions: baking soda, vinegar, soaps, lemon juice, cleansers with
ammonia, drain clog remover, milk, clear sodas, other food or drink liquids or powders, antacid tablets, ....)
Procedure:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Treat all kitchen products used in this lab with extreme care as they may be very acidic or
very basic and can therefore be toxic or corrosive.
2. Do NOT mix any of the household chemicals together as these chemicals may react with
each other (especially the cleansers and soaps!).
3. The purple solution produced from the red cabbage leaves may stain clothing, counters, or
floors. If spilled, wash surface promptly.
1.

3.
4.
Read and then reread the above SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
In the blender, blend the cabbage and about 2 cups of water for about 30 seconds to make a purple solution. Fill
one glass at least one inch with the cabbage juice in a glass. This purple is the color of the cabbage juice in a
neutral water solution, the control solution.
Place 1/3 of a cup of any of the five kitchen or food products which are clear liquids in the other five cups. If
the product is a powder, use only a teaspoon of the powdered product dissolved in a 1/3 cup tap water. If the
product to be used is a colored liquid (like milk), first dilute the liquid with water so that it is fairly transparent
and use 1/3 cup of this solution.
Add approximately two tablespoons of the cabbage solution to each glass and observe the color of the resulting
solution.
Questions:
1. Knowing that baking soda and ammonia are basic and that vinegar and lemon juice are acidic, try to
classify all of the products you used as basic, acidic, or neutral. Give the reasoning each classification.
2. As an extension, you may wish to repeat the above experiment using strong tea as an indicator. The
tea will change from a deep brown to a light yellow across the pH scale. (Which way does the color
change as pH increases?)
For Credit:
To receive credit, your parent or guardian must write a short note confirming that you performed the
experiment for them and explained the results to their satisfaction using the concept of acid/base indicators. Attach
your note to the back of this sheet.

Small-Scale Lab: Strong and weak acids and bases (SS31)
Revised from:
Waterman, E. L. (2002). Strong and weak acids and bases. In Small-scale chemistry laboratory
manual. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Objectives:
1. Identify and distinguish between strong and weak acids and strong and weak bases.
2. Identify acids and bases as hydrogen—ion acceptors and hydrogen-ion donors.
3. Identify conjugate acid—base pairs in acid—base reactions.
4. Describe acid—base reactions by using hydrogen—ion transfer equations.
5. Explain the differences between strong and weak acids and bases by using equilibrium
principles.
Background:
You have seen that acids are substances that react with water to produce H ions in
solutions. Similarly, bases are chemicals that react with water to produce 0H ions. For example,
you have already seen that when an acid like HC1 dissolves in water, it reacts by transferring a
hydrogen ion to water according to the following equation:
HCl + H2O  H3O+ + ClTo what degree does this reaction proceed? Do all the molecules of HC1 react, or do only
some of them transfer hydrogen ions while others remain intact?
Purpose:
In this lab you will take a new look at acids and bases and classify them according to the
Brønsted-Lowry theory. You have already acquired working definitions of acids and bases.
Acids turn BTB yellow and produce hydrogen ions in solution. Bases turn BTB blue and produce
hydroxide ions in solution. You will use BTB (bromthymol blue) and UI (universal indicator) as
probes to classify solutions as acids and bases. You will review how to write net ionic equations
to show how each substance transfers a hydrogen ion to or from water. You will learn to identify
the acid-base conjugate pairs in hydrogen-ion transfer equations. You will then use the hydrogen
carbonate ion, HCO3-, to investigate acid-base reactions and group acid solutions according to
relative strengths. You will use your data to formulate the concept that acids and bases can be
classified as both strong and weak, depending on their behavior.

Determining the Concentration of Acetic Acid in Commercial Vinegar
Introduction
The neutralization of an acid by a base can be done using titration. In titration, a solution of
known acidity, or pH, is added gradually to a basic solution of unknown pH. When the unknown
solution is exactly neutralized, as shown by the color of an acid-base indicator or by the reading
of a pH meter, it is said that the number of hydronium ions equals the number of hydroxide ions.
moles H3O+ = moles OHIn titration, the solutions are dispensed from burettes. The volume used of each solution is
calculated by subtracting the volume read before the titration from the volume read after the
titration. The volume in a buret can be read accurately to +/- 0.01 mL.
Before the titration of the unknown can be done the titrant (solution being used for the titration)
must standardized (calculating the accurate concentration). A solution whose concentration is
known to a high degree of accuracy is known as a standard solution.
In this experiment you will use solid KHC8H4O4, potassium hydrogen phthalate, to prepare a
very accurate solution. This solution will be used to titrate a solution of sodium hydroxide in
order to standardize it. This standardized solution of sodium hydroxide will then be used to
titrate vinegar to find the molarity of commercial vinegar.
Procedure
Part A. Standardization of solution of Sodium Hydroxide
1. Make 250 mL of a 0.1 M solution of NaOH. You will be provided with a solution of
NaOH of known concentration (approximate). Use distilled water, prepare, stopper, and
store this in an Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Clean a 50 mL buret thoroughly with distilled water. Mount the buret vertically in a buret
clamp attached to a ring stand. Place a white sheet of paper beneath the buret.
3. Rinse the buret with 5 mL of the NaOH solution, 3 times. Let each portion drain out of
the buret before the next rinse. Dispose of the waste NaOH. (This step is done so that any
water that might be in the buret prior to the experiment will not dilute your NaOH during
the titration.) Fill the buret with NaOH.
4. Get approximately 0.5 grams of KHC8H4O4 into a 125 mL erlenmeyer flask. Make sure
that you know the exact mass of your solid acid.
5. Dissolve the KHC8H4O4 into about 50 mL of water. Make sure that it is completely
dissolved.
6. Now, slowly titrate the NaOH into the KHP, swirling at all times, until the solution turns
the lightest shade of pink possible. The color needs to stay a pale pink for 15-30 seconds.
This is the endpoint.
7. Do one "quick & dirty" titration to get an approximate amount.
8. Record all information so that you know exactly how much NaOH was added to the
flask.
9. Do at least three trials, with usable data, to insure accurate results. Rinse out your buret
three times with tap water after completion of this experiment and then fill it with
water.
10. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution using the mass of the KHC8H4O4. Use
stoichiometry to do this.

Name
Part B: Determination of the Molarity of Acetic Acid in Vinegar
1. Pipette 20 mL of commercial vinegar into a 200 mL volumetric flask (or 25 mL into a
250 mL volumetric) and dilute with DI water. Transfer this solution to an Erlenmeyer and
label it 10% vinegar solution.
2. Pipette 25 mL of the 10% vinegar to a flask. Add 2 drops phenolphthalein indicator.
Titrate the vinegar with your standardized NaOH.
3. Do one "quick & dirty" titration to get an approximate amount and then 3 trials. Rinse
out your buret three times with tap water after completion of this
Experiment and then fill it with water.
4. Calculate the molarity of the 10% solution of vinegar.
5. Multiply by 10 to get the concentration of commercial vinegar.
Questions
1. Why did you have to be careful to measure the precise amounts of acids and base used in
a titration but you could add as much water as you wanted to the flask while titrating the
solution?
2. Discuss at least three sources of error.
3. If a young child drank a large amount of vinegar or other acid, what might be a possible
way to help the child?
Conclusion
Restate the purpose of the lab. Summarize the procedure briefly explaining why each part (A, B)
was performed in order to determine the molarity of acid in vinegar. Suggest how your results
could be more accurate.
