b) If the solutions were tested with universal indicator paper, what colour would the
indicator paper be with each one?

UI Colour red blue Yellowish orange purple Bluish
green green
c) Fresh milk has a pH of 6. How do you think the pH would change as it became sour?
Explain your answer.
The pH value will be decreased. This is because the sourer a substance
becomes, the more acidic it is, thus, the lower the pH value.
2. Here are some results of solution tested with universal indicator paper:
Arrange the solutions in order of their pH, starting with the lowest pH.
3. Identify the strong and weak acids and alkalis from the results shown in Question 1
and 2.
Acids Alkalis
STRONG: Solution A and D, Sulfuric STRONG: Solution E, Oven cleaner,
acid, Car battery acid Metal polish

NEUTRALISATION
c) What will the colour of the solution be if more acid are drop into the conical flask
