    The document describes an experiment to investigate the pH of various household substances. Samples were tested using universal indicator and their color changes were recorded to determine pH values. Results showed that substances like toothpaste, tap water and baking soda were weakly alkaline with pH values under 10, while bleach, oven cleaner and drain cleaner were strongly alkaline with pH over 10. Vinegar, soft drinks and cleaners had pH under 4 making them strongly acidic, while milk and hand sanitizer were weakly acidic with pH of 4-6. The conclusion is that the pH scale can be used to categorize substances as acidic, alkaline or neutral based on their measured values.

    Title: pH of substances

    Aim: To investigate the pH of different substances

    Material/Apparatus:
    ● Hydrochloric acid
    ● Aqueous ammonia
    ● Vinegar
    ● Toothpaste
    ● Toilet bowl cleaner
    ● Oven cleaner
    ● Fizzy drink
    ● Lemon juice
    ● Tap water
    ● Distilled water
    ● Bleach
    ● Milk
    ● Shampoo
    ● Hand soap
    ● Baking soda
    ● Hand sanitizer
    ● Test tube
    ● Universal indicator
    ● Pipette
    ● pH scale
    ● Stirring rod
    ● Spatula

    Procedure:
    1. 1cm of water was added to certain substances which required it to make a
    solution.
    2. A few drops of universal indicator were added.
    3. The results which were the colour change of the indicator and the pH value
    were recorded in a table.

    Analysis: Tap water, toothpaste, baking soda, bleach, hydrochloric acid and
    aqueous ammonia were all alkaline substances, with different weaknesses and
    strengths. Alkalines have a pH value of more than 7 and accept hydrogen ions.
    Soda, vinegar, milk, shampoo, hydrochloric acid, lemon juice, hand sanitizer and
    hand soap were acidic substances, with different strengths and weaknesses. Acids
    have a pH value of less than 7 and they replace hydrogen ions. Distilled water has
    a pH value of 7 which is basically neutral. A toilet bowl cleaner makes it an
    appropriate cleaning operator in light of the fact that as a cleaning specialist, it is
    utilized to separate mineral stains and being acidic makes the process simpler.
    Lime juice can be utilized to eliminate lime stains since it has citric acid which
    reacts with iron oxide so it may be taken out when scoured.

    Conclusion: It can be concluded that toothpaste, tap water and baking soda are
    weakly alkalines as their pH values were less than 10. Windex, oven cleaner,
    aqueous ammonia and bleach are strong alkalines as their pH values were more
    than 10. Milk and hand sanitizer are weakly acidic as their pH values are 4 and 6.
    Vinegar, fizzy drink, hand soap, shampoo, hydrochloric acid, toilet bowl cleaner
    and lemon juice are strongly acidic as their pH values were less than 4.

    Limitations/Precaution/sources of error:
    Acids and alkalis are irritants. If they get onto your skin, you must rinse them off.

    Reflection: I have learnt that substances can be arranged utilizing a pH scale


    dependent on acidity and alkalinity. Substances with a pH estimation of 7 are
    supposed to be neutral and neither acidic nor alkaline. On a pH scale, acidic
    substances have a pH going from 0 to 6 and alkalines have a pH from 8 to 14.
