  • Welcome to the fourth episode of season 2 of The Sci Guys. In this episode we will be creating a ph indicator (acid base indicator) using red cabbage. Then we will be mixing different solutions into our red cabbage pH indicator and watch how the colour changes based on the pH of the solution. We will show you how you can explore this topic at home with a bunch of simple household items and at the end you will have a red cabbage pH indicator (acid base indicator) that you can use to test a variety of solutions around your house.

    pH indicator definition for people doing chem hw: A chemical compound that is used to visually determine if a solution is acidic or basic. Normally the indicator changes color depending on the pH of the solution it is testing.

      by their color, you can also calculate for the pH by using such formula of
      -log of the given acid.

    Do you think there is any way you could add anthocyanin into a plastic and if so could that plastic change colour if dipped in say lemon juice or would the plastic compound prevent the colour change? Finally, using the plastic example is there any way you could reset the indicators reaction with the solution so that you could use it multiple times? Thanks, great video, very helpful.

    • @TheSciGuys
      @TheSciGuys  8 лет назад +2

      +Talia Steiger I think it should still work but because it's a food product without any preservatives make sure you put it in a sealed container before putting it in the fridge. You should be able to make it the night before or day before and it should still work. If you're concerned, test it out on a small batch prior to doing it with the kids it to see if you still get strong results from a day or two old solution.

    @caterscarrots3407 Год назад

    I did this many years back, with several household items that I thought would be acidic or basic. Most gave what I expected, the lemon juice was acidic, the water was neutral, and the baking soda was basic. And most of the other items I used also changed the indicator like I expected. But one thing confused me. I put liquid hand soap in one of the samples and I saw no change whatsoever. I expected it to turn blue but it didn't. Is it cause the PH, while basic(at least, I'm pretty sure it's basic), is too close to neutral for this indicator, that I'd need something like universal pH paper to detect subtle alkalinity like the soap?

    One of my favourite experiments as it's pretty much fool-proof yet the results are fairly dramatic.
    I have mixed feelings about how the experiment is carried out.
    I can see lab coats, safety glasses, gloves etc. teach proper lab safety from the get-go, which is fantastic.
    However not everyone has them, and likewise coffee filters and distilled water (while setting a useful base line) might not be available to everyone.
    If it's about instilling a sense of wonder, this is one experiment that can be simplified considerably, making it more accessible to anyone.
