    This document outlines an experiment to compare the acidic content of carbonated and non-carbonated drinks. The hypothesis is that carbonated drinks will be more acidic than non-carbonated drinks as carbonated drinks cause more harm to teeth. The experiment involves using a universal indicator and pH probe to measure the pH of drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, orange juice, and carbonated drinks. It is expected that the non-carbonated drinks will have a higher pH and appear more blue with the universal indicator, while carbonated drinks will have a lower pH and appear more red/orange. Sources of error could include not properly cleaning the pH probe between measurements.

    Title: Carbonated and Non-Carbonated Drinks

    Problem/Research Question: Both carbonated and non-carbonated drinks


    contain
    acids. The more acidic a drink, the worse it is for your
    teeth. Plan and design an experiment to compare the acidic content of carbonated
    and non-carbonated drinks.

    Hypothesis: If carbonated drinks cause more harm to teeth than non-carbonated


    drinks, then
    carbonated drinks will be more acidic than non-carbonated drinks.

    Aim: To compare the values of non-carbonated and carbonated drinks/liquids.

    Material/Apparatus:
    ● Universal Indicator
    ● Test tubes
    ● Test tube rack
    ● Gatorade
    ● Powerade
    ● Lucozade
    ● pH probe
    ● Apple juice
    ● Liquid with a neutral pH (7)
    ● Liquid with an acidic pH (4)
    ● Orange Juice
    ● Distilled water
    ● Test tube stickers

    Method:
    1. Using the Universal Indicator:
    2. Each test tube should be labelled, showing what
    3. liquid will be poured in
    4. Pour 10ml of each of the liquids in separate test tubes
    5. Add 1-3 drops of universal indicator in each test tube

    6. Shake the test tubes slightly to mix the contents then record any visible
    7. changes
    8. Repeat the first four steps for each of the other remaining test tubes.

    Using the pH Probe:


    ★ Label each test tube, showing what liquid it will contain.
    ★ The pH probe should be verified to be in pH mode before being rinsed with
    distilled water.

    Calibration Process:
    ★ After rinsing, shake off any remaining water off the probe then place in a
    liquid with a pH of 7 (ensure that this liquid is known).
    ★ Rinse the probe then place in another known liquid with a pH of 4.

    Experimenting with Drinks:


    ★ Set the pH probe into the test tube containing the drink.
    ★ Let the probe settle in the drink
    ★ After that, record the reading from the pH probe
    ★ The two steps prior should be repeated with all of the other test tubes
    containing drinks.

    Variables:
    Controlled- The amount of each liquid poured into each designated/labelled test
    tube.
    Manipulated- The carbonated and non-carbonated drinks that are being examined.
    Responding- The color changes produced from the universal indicator and the pH
    recorded from the probe to determine the acidity of each drink.

    Expected results:
    pH probe: The non-carbonated drinks would have a higher pH level than
    carbonated drinks.
    Universal Indicator: Since non-carbonated drinks have a higher pH than
    carbonated drinks, a blue/purple color should be produced and a red/orange color
    should be produced from the carbonated drinks.

    Assumptions/Limitations/Precaution/Sources of error :
    Assumptions: Carbonated drinks are the beverages with added carbon dioxide that
    gives an effervescent taste to the beverages. Non-carbonated drinks are soft drinks
    without carbon dioxide and sparkling taste and they include fruit punch, fruit
    drinks, ice tea, coffee with sugar, and sport drinks.
    Limitations: pH probes are kind of expensive and hard to find in some places of
    the world.
    Precautions: To keep away from the endangerment of the test or the account of
    incorrect outcomes, the probe was flushed with distilled water after every
    implantation in a fluid.
    Sources of error: In the event that the pH test isn't washed after each utilization,
    contamination might be available and will influence the recorded outcomes.
