Calibrating the cabbage pH indicator means creating a reference (color ↔ pH) relationship using solutions with known pH values (buffer standards).
How to do it, briefly:
- Prepare a range of standard buffer solutions of known pH (for example pH 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12).
- Add the same amount of red cabbage indicator to each standard, mix and let the color develop.
- Record each color and its corresponding pH (photo under consistent lighting, note RGB values, or measure absorbance with a spectrophotometer for a quantitative curve).
- Use the resulting color chart or calibration curve to estimate the pH of unknown samples (same indicator concentration, same volumes and lighting).
Tips: use replicates, keep indicator concentration and volumes constant, use consistent lighting/background for photos, and use buffer solutions rather than “unknown” acids/bases.
