Testing for Acids and Bases (PART A) Introduction This activity will introduce the students to pH indicators and how they can be used to determine whether a substance is an acid, a base, or neutral. Before hand they will be introduced to two different types of indicators, paper and liquid. Specifically they would use red and blue litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and bromothymol blue. First they would start by determining the pH of 6 known samples using all of the indicators. Then will go on to investigate the pH of 3 “blood” sample. Note: Part C. It says that the three samples will be compo
