Ph lab
This is based on the PH lab that we did. What the experiment was suppose to represent was how antacids react to stomach acid and what effects it has. In the experiment that we did we used vinegar to represent the stomach acid and mixed different antacids with the vinegar to see how they would react and also checking the PH level. It is ranked 1-14 where the higher number is more of a base and the lower number is more of an acid. The acids show of a red or orange color on the PH paper. Bases show green or blue on the PH paper. The antacid that was the closest to a base was the Rolaids with a PH level of 6. The Equate Regular was closest to an acid with a PH level of 4. Vinegar, Peppermint Antacid, and Extra Rolaids were all more of an acid than a base with the PH level of 5.
