Ph Test

 Aim: To test the PH of a bunch of household chemicals.

Method: Add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. you test the chemicals using litmus paper. Put a few drops of universal indicator to test the chemicals. 

Results: Toilet cleaner in blue litmus paper was red, in red litmus paper it was red, in Universal Indicator it was red. Dishwashing liquid in blue litmus paper it was blue, in red litmus paper it was blue, in Universal Indicator it was Green/Yellow. Floor cleaner in blue litmus paper was blue, in red litmus paper it was Indigo, in Universal Indicator it was red. Spray and Wipe in blue litmus paper was blue, in red litmus paper it was blue, in Universal Indicator it was blue.

Discussion: If the litmus paper goes red it means it acid or if it goes blue it means its a base. Toilet cleaner is an acid because the litmus paper will go red. Dishwashing liquid is a base because the litmus paper went blue. Floor cleaner is also a base because the litmus paper goes blue. Spray and Wipe is a base because it's not corrosive and the paper went blue.

Conclusion: The experiment went good because I have already done this before so it wasn't that complicated. I wouldn't do anything differently because its pretty simple on how we have done it and you don't want it to be overly complicated.
