Answers
GPT 3.5
Sure! Here's a group activity on the topic of acids and bases:
Activity: Acid-Base Experiment Stations
Materials:
1. Lemon juice (acid)
2. Vinegar (acid)
3. Baking soda (base)
4. Soap solution (base)
5. Red cabbage juice (indicator)
6. pH test strips
7. Disposable cups
8. Water
9. Measuring spoons
10. Paper towels
Procedure:
1. Divide the participants into groups of 4-5.
2. Set up five different experiment stations and label them A, B, C, D, and E.
3. Place a small amount of each substance at the respective stations: lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, soap solution, and red cabbage juice.
4. Fill separate cups with water and provide a measuring spoon to each group.
5. Give each group a pH test strip and a piece of paper towel.
6. Instruct the groups to rotate through the stations and perform the following tasks at each station:
Station A (Lemon juice):
- Predict whether lemon juice is an acid or base.
- Dip a pH test strip into the lemon juice and record the pH value.
- Use a paper towel to clean the strip for reuse.
Station B (Vinegar):
- Predict whether vinegar is an acid or base.
- Dip a pH test strip into the vinegar and record the pH value.
- Use a paper towel to clean the strip for reuse.
Station C (Baking soda):
- Predict whether baking soda is an acid or base.
- Add a small amount of baking soda to a cup.
- Add water to the cup and stir until the baking soda dissolves.
- Dip a pH test strip into the solution and record the pH value.
- Use a paper towel to clean the strip for reuse.
Station D (Soap solution):
- Predict whether soap solution is an acid or base.
- Add a small amount of soap solution to a cup.
- Add water to the cup and stir until the solution is mixed.
- Dip a pH test strip into the solution and record the pH value.
- Use a paper towel to clean the strip for reuse.
Station E (Red cabbage juice):
- Predict whether red cabbage juice is an acid or base.
- Pour a small amount of red cabbage juice into a cup.
- Dip a clean pH test strip into the red cabbage juice and observe the color change.
- Match the color change to the pH scale provided and record the approximate pH value.
7. After rotating through all the stations, bring the groups together for a discussion.
Discussion Questions:
1. Which substances were acids? Which were bases?
2. Did your predictions match the results? Why or why not?
3. What role did the pH test strips play in identifying acids and bases?
4. How did the color change in the red cabbage juice indicate the pH value?
5. Can you think of real-life examples where we encounter acids or bases?
Answer Key:
1. Station A (Lemon juice) - Acid
2. Station B (Vinegar) - Acid
3. Station C (Baking soda) - Base
4. Station D (Soap solution) - Base
5. Station E (Red cabbage juice) - Indicator (The color change indicates acid or base, but it is not an acid or base itself.)
Note: The actual pH values recorded may vary depending on the concentration or specific brands of the substances used.
