    In this episode we boil down some cabbage and use it as a pH indicator. We can look at Acids and Bases with the extract we pull from the cabbage. Watch and learn some nifty tricks with baking soda, washing soda, vinegar and even lye.

    aren't the sodas + the vinegar neutralizing each other? lye wouldn't overpower anything then, it would be the only active ingredient left

    this makes a lot of sense tbh. I think that the cabbage extract is kinda like litmus paper. it measures the pH of the substance it is poured in. vinegar being acidic turns red, while the baking soda and lye turn blue and green cuz they're bases

    • @thewhatwhat12333
      @thewhatwhat12333 3 года назад

      the red cabbage heated in water creates a universal indicator solution so yes, its like a liquid litmus test

    the red cabbage juice is a pH indicator often used in experiments.
    it changes colors based on the pH of the solution you add it to.

  • @LuigiDude123
    @LuigiDude123 14 лет назад

    We just did an experiment exactly like this in chemistry today. The reason it changes color is because the cabbage juice is a natural indicator and it turns different colors depending on if you put an acid or a base in it.

  • @fullmetalfan32
    @fullmetalfan32 14 лет назад

    The only issue I have with the last test is that, chemically, there was no vinegar left in it. The vinegar reacts with the bases (Baking soda/washing soda) leaving water and a salt, both of which are neutral, so when you added the lye, that was really the only chemical left, besides some residual sodas. The extract was only reacting with the Lye. However, still a cool effect, and very scientific.

  • @mohamad5000
    @mohamad5000 14 лет назад

    @anubisxdmj0 cabbage can be used as aPH indicator so each one of those chemicals turns a different colour depending on its PH

    the baking soda and washing soda are bases, when you add the vinegar it neutralizes it, thus the bubbles of hydrogen gas.
    then you add the lye in, and its just like adding lye into regular water....

  • @kelvingan725
    @kelvingan725 14 лет назад

    if i'm right the cabbage extract acts as a universal indicator right?
    vinegar = acid
    extract turns red
    all others are base (with lye being the most basic compound added followed by washing soda)
    so i'm assuming if you add a strong acid it'll turn dark red

    dose the lye really over power the other chemicals or the vinegar and baking sodas cancel each other out being an acid and basic chemicals... have u tried just the baking soda and vinegar... omit the lye and what color dose it make???

  • @peanutsquad
    @peanutsquad 14 лет назад

    I did this exact thing for a science project.
    The cabbage acts as a pH indicator. So the colors of the chemecals represent its acidity or bacicity. With dark blue being the most basic and red being the most acidic.
    Justa quick science lesson :P

    We did this in chemistry. Its called a natural Universal indicator or somethin. Depending on strong/weak, acid/alkali, it goes different colours.

      Not sure how colored dye would let you pour a red glass of water into four other glasses, and have them change into four different colors! And have the fourth one change from green to yellow.

  • @SRMkay

    Wait... boiled red cabbage juice turns pink when an acid is added, and green when a base is added. What causes the yellow and blue colors?

  • @Somezable
    @Somezable 13 лет назад

    SPOILER
    The extract works as a natural pH indicator and changes color based on how acidic or alkaline the liquid is. The bubbling reaction you see in the mixed liquid is a neutralatio reaction between baking soda and vinegar changing them into water and salt.

  • @TheRobertotpr
    @TheRobertotpr 14 лет назад

    Question for you::
    For the seperate glasses isn't the cabage extract reacting to the acidic and basic compunds making it blue or red for the first two? (vinigar and baking soda)
    Second::
    Wouldn't the baking soda and vinegar cancel eachother out when put all together, just leaving the washing and lye. So the lye only has to overpower one chemical, which is green in the first place?

  • @looneycool1
    @looneycool1 14 лет назад

    what about if you put water+baking soda+vinegar+washing soda and then the cabbage liquid ?? no lye

    @warblonde nope. i believe, its just indicator, cabbage is used to know the pH of different substances, red symbolizing acid, and, blue symbolizes basic
