A pupil put 50 cm3 of alkali into a flask and added a little universal
indicator solution. She added acid from a measuring cylinder, in
10 cm3 amounts. After each addition of acid, she matched the
colour of the liquid in the flask against a colour chart and
estimated the pH of the solution in the flask. She made sure
everything in the flask was well mixed before she matched the
colour.
Here are her results from just one attempt.
