Here is cabbage science
I peel cabbages every day! :) ps 2 leaves only
done! :o
choppy time
Time to blitz with 750ml of water
Ta -da it's done ooh and look at it! A lovely purple :0 ps sieve to remove bits of cabbage
Cabbage juice is magical - it changes colour. if u add acid it goes red, if u add alkali it will turn blue or green or even yellow
we tested
lemon juice
vinegar
tonic water
salt
toothpaste
soap
bleach
oven cleaner
to see how acidic-y or alkali-y they were
the results:
I wasn't very surprised that lemon juice and vinegar went red (the best colour EVER!!!!!!) - they are both acids
But this 1 was a surprise INTRODUCING FIZZY DRINK..........................................................................................................IT WAS AN ACID!
FIZZY DRIKS CONTAIN CARBON DIOXIDE, THAT'S THE BUBBLES. THIS GAS REACTS WITH THE WATER TO MAKE AN ACID. SO FIZZY DRINKS ARE ACIDIC.
NEXT UP IS SALTY TOOTHPASTE.....(SOWWY SALT & TOOTHPASTE) :)
THE COLOUR DIDN'T CHANGE, THEY ARE BOTH NEUTRAL - NEITHER ACID OR ALKALI
NOW, FOR ALL THE BAKERS OUT THERE, BICARBONATE OF SODA...........................
IT WENT BLUE!!!!! SO IT'S AN ALKALI
NEXT UP SOAP!!!!!!
SOAP IS AN ALKALI. WHEN ADDED TO CABBAGE JUICE, IT TURNED IT BLUER THAN BICARBONATE OF SODA, SO IT'S A STRONGER ALKALI.
NEXT UP BLEACH :( STINKY BLEACH
IT WENT GREEN!!! MEANING BLEACH IS A STRONGER ALKALI THAN SOAP!
TIP: DON'T ADD TOO MUCH BLEACH OTHERWISE IT WILL DRAIN OUT THE COLOUR! IT IS CALLED BLEACH FOR A REASON PEEPS!
NOW TIME FOR ALKALI OF THE DAY.....OVEN CLEANER
IT WENT BLUE THEN GREEN THEN A GREENY YELLOW - THIS IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY STRONG ALKALI!!!!!!!
IT'S THE STRONGEST AKALI OF THE DAY - YAY, GO OVEN CLEANER!!!!!
THIS EXPERIMENT IS REALLY FUN!! TRY IT AT HOME!!! (JUST GET AN ADULT TO HELP YOU WITH THINGS LIKE BLEACH OR OVEN CLEANER)
