Making Homemade Indicators

Aim: To Make acid-base indicators using everyday substances.

Equipment: Tea bag, Beaker, Water, Tripod, Bunsen burner, Gauze mat, 1.0 mol L-1 HCI and 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH.

Method: Put 100 ml of water into beaker and boil.












Turn off the Bunsen burner and put three tea bags in the beaker.

Remove the tea bags when the tea is very strong.

Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.




Result
This is what happened when the tea touched the acid and the base. The color turns lighter with the acid and darker with the base.
