(STEM_GC11CEIVb-e-145)

“Camote-Tops Decoction Experiment!”

Objectives:
A. To be able to determine the effects of an acid or a base on the red camote- tops decoction.
B. To be able to explain how reversible chemical reaction occurs.

Materials:
glass filter paper or “katsa” cloth
vinegar or calamansi extract bleach (zonrox), “liquid sosa” or soap solution
red camote tops decoction

Procedure:
1. Prepare red camote-tops decoction by boiling red camote tops in one cup of water.
2. Filter the mixture using a filter paper or “katsa” cloth.
3. Let the filtrate or liquid to cool.
4. Place 20 mL or 4 tablespoons of filtrate in a beaker or glass.
5. Drop vinegar or calamansi extract into the filtrate. Observe what will happen. Record your observation.
6. Then, drop bleach (zonrox), “liquid sosa” or soap solution into the mixture. Observe and record what will happen.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6. Record your observations.
