Based on the properties of acids and basic solutions in your observations, draw a conclusion about the classificaiton of each

of the solids in this lab, by filling in


the table on the reverse. Remember, there are three categories we can assign, either acidic, basic or neutral. Look at evidence to place a species in a category,
don’t just place one there by default.

For this lab you must write your own procedure! Remember to use numbered steps (like bullets). Remember to keep instructions short and clear. Reread your
procedure while doing the lab, to ensure you haven’t missed any vital steps. You may do a rough draft here, but please make an easy to read, finished copy to
hand in. The observations on the back of this page can be rough work (as observations normally are).
