TESTING FOR THE ACIDITY/BASICITY OF WATER SAMPLES

Learning objectives:
1. Students will be able to qualitatively determine the pH of a solution by observing the color change of different water samplesby employing the pH indicator.
2. Students will be able to explain, using scientific terms, what makes a solutionacidic or basic.

Experimental Procedure:
In this experiment, students will test the pH of different solutions using a universal indicator and a purple cabbage juice indicator. The purple cabbage juice indicator can be prepared using the following directions.

Purple Cabbage Juice Indicator (from Ref 2):
1. Chop one red cabbage into small pieces. Place 2-3 cups of chopped cabbage in a saucepan and cover with water.
2. The solution is brought to a boil, and then the heat is turned off. The solution should sit for about 30 minutes to cool.
3. The cabbage water is poured through a strainer into a jar or large measuring cup. The dark purple liquid in the jar is the pH indicator liquid.

Waste disposal:
Allwaste generated during the experiment can be disposed using the normal water-based waste disposal method as the waste does not contain any toxic elements.




Teaching notes:
• Can use any water source (e.g., lake, tap, carbonated drink, aquarium, etc.). It’s recommended to have an example from acidic, neutral and alkaline solutions.
• Purple cabbage juice indicator can be prepared following the steps above.
• This work can be conducted using the microwell (Figure 1) as a microscale chemistry set-up or using small beakers for a normal conventional set up.

Safety:
• Students and demonstrators are advised to wear a lab coat, goggles, and gloves while performing the experiment.
• If any acidic solution, basic solution, or pH indicator spills on a student’s hand or other body part, wash thoroughly with running water.

TESTES DE ACIDEZ/BASICIDADE EM AMOSTRAS DE ÁGUA

Objetivos:
1. Os estudantes serão capazes de determinar, qualitativamente, o pH de uma solução a partir da observação da mudança de cor em diferentes amostras de água utilizando um indicador de pH.
2. Os estudantes serão capazes de explicar, utilizando termos científicos, o que faz uma solução ser ácida ou básica.

Procedimento experimental:
Neste experimento, os estudantes medirão o pH de diferentes soluções utilizando um indicador universal e um indicador de suco de repolho roxo. O suco de repolho roxo pode ser preparado como indicado abaixo.

Suco de repolho roxo (Referência 2):
1. Corte um repolho roxo em pequenos pedaços, coloque 2-3 xícaras de repolho fatiado em uma panela e cubra com água.
2. Desligar o fogo quando a solução começar a ferver e, em seguida, deve-se esperar 30 minutos para que a mesma esfrie.
3. Deve-se filtrar a água do repolho utilizando um coador e despejando-a em um frasco ou em um copo de medição grande. O líquido roxo escuro contido na jarra é o indicador de pH líquido.

Descarte de resíduos:
Todos os resíduos gerados durante o experimento podem ser descartados utilizando água, uma vez que não contém elementos tóxicos.

Observações:
• Pode-se usar quaisquer amostras de água, como por exemplo: água de lago, da torneira, do aquário, bebida gaseificada, etc. É recomendado ter um exemplo de solução ácida, neutra e alcalina.
• O indicador de suco de repolho roxo pode ser preparado segundo os passos acima.
• O experimento pode ser realizado usando uma placa de microwell (Figura 1) em uma micro escala ou pequenos béqueres para uma escala normal.

Medidas de segurança:
• Os estudantes e participantes são aconselhados a usarem jaleco, óculos de segurança e luvas durante a realização do experimento.
• Se alguma das soluções (ácida, básica ou o indicador de pH) entrar em contato a pele, lavar a região atingida com água corrente.

Bio

I am an enthusiastic and passionate conference and community interpreter who is currently located in Paraguay, and for the past few years, I have been studying and working as a remote conference and community interpreter. I have 20+ years of active English engagement and development due to work and study opportunities overseas, which also furnished me with an understanding of different cultures and traditions.  

Currently, I interpret a full range of educational, healthcare, financial, and governmental services by also relying on CAI Tools for efficiency purposes. My strength lies in my ability to listen actively and convey an accurate, clear, and coherent message, taking cultural differences into consideration. As a result, all parties involved get to understand each other, avoiding unnecessary miscommunication commonly caused by language barriers. My mission is to continuously improve myself in order to provide world-class interpretation so that you can take your business or event to the next level. My greatest reward in this profession is to know that my job made a difference and brought the results that you deserve. 

Please feel free to contact me at any time, and I will be available to answer your questions and concerns. I am looking forward to hearing from you and getting more details about your project or event. Regardless of whether we work together or not, I thank you for taking the time to read my profile and wish you all the best in your endeavors.
