Scientific Paper
I. Introduction:
The basis of this scientific paper was to determine the acid, base and neutral
substances found in the list of compounds below in a conducted experiment using
the alugbati as an indicator. Thus, it will also help increase our understanding
about the three substances (pertaining to acid, base and salt) and their differences.
III. Procedures:

III. Testing the Compounds:

mixtures and label each Let it dry and observe your observations
compounds. the changes in color.
Throughout the experiment, I’ve made used of the alugbati paper as an indicator
to test the acid, base and neutral substances found in the list of the following
compounds:
After the experiment, I’ve noticed some changes in the color. Some are not clear
and some are considered to be faded yet I can still notice the changes. I’ve made a
table showing the changes in color of the alugbati paper.
Compounds Changes
Apog (lime water) Blue violet (faded)
Vinegar Red (tip)
Salt Solution No change
Shampoo (liquid based) Blue (spots)
Toothpaste (liquid based) Light blue (faded)
Egg yolk Blue
Tap water No change
Calamansi Red
Baking soda (liquid based) Blue (faded)
Milk (liquid based) Red
V. Generalization:
I therefore conclude that any compound that is of acid form and tastes sour and is
capable of changing the blue litmus to red is an acid. We know for a fact that acetic
acid is present in vinegar, citric acid in calamansi and lactic acid in milk and all
turned out to reddish color. While any compound that tastes bitter and slippery to
touch and is capable of changing the red litmus to blue is a base. All compounds used
that I’ve determined in the form of base contains all the characteristics of a base
substance. In neutralization reaction one of the products is usually water and the other
is an ionic compound called salt. Acids and bases have characteristic properties that
cancel each other when they react in a neutralization reaction.
