Introduction:

We all know that compounds are classified as acids, bases and salts. This three
classification of compound has its own identity to recognize easily. The acids are
known for having sour taste. Citrus fruits such as lemons have a sour taste due to the
citric acid found in them; vinegar is a solution of approximately 5% acetic acid; sour
milk contains lactic acid, which gives it its sour taste. Ability to turn blue litmus paper
red and neutralizes bases. Bases are known for having bitter taste and slick feeling. A
dilute solution of sodium hydroxide, for example, has a soapy slick feeling on the
skin. Strong bases will also dissolve hair, and for this reason sodium hydroxide and
potassium hydroxide are often found in drain openers. It turns red litmus paper blue
and neutralizes acids.

This scientific paper will give bits of information about acids, bases and salts.

The alugbati paper that has the drops of vinegar became
lighter or light green in color. With apog, it became darker. With salt solution, it seems
nothing changed.

Chopping of
alugbati tops.

Transfer it in a

In a bowl,
dip a piece of
Bond paper.

Place it in a
flat plate and
