The document describes experiments testing the acidity of common household substances using litmus paper and the reactivity of various metals with acid. It finds that lemon juice, coffee, vinegar, milk, and tea are acidic, while water, sugar, and salt are neutral. Baking soda is basic. Hydrochloric acid turns methyl orange red and phenolphthalein pink. Sodium hydroxide turns methyl orange yellow. Tin, iron, and copper do not react with acid, while magnesium, zinc, and calcium show signs of reactivity like bubbling.

1. Use both red and blue litmus paper to detect whether a
chemical is an acid or a base. Because the paper will remain the same color in both, this is mostly done to ascertain whether the chemical is neutral. 2. The indicators' accuracy in measuring pH is low by nature. 3. In terms of physical change nothing happened with all the metals except magnesium which somehow dissolved in acid 4. Tin, Iron and copper displayed no signs of change or reaction while Magnesium, Zinc and Calcium shows signs of reactions through bubbling. This means that these three metals are reactive to acid. 5.pH, taste, texture, reactivity, and conductivity.
