3.ACTIVITY

Activity: Acid – Base test using red cabbage juice as an indicator.

Holiday Homework 2022-2023

Red cabbage indicator is a purple-colored solution that is used to test whether
substances are acid or base. The cabbage basically contains a pigment molecule called
flavin or anthocyanin that changes colour depending on the acidity of the solution.

In Acid: the purple solution turns red

In Base: it turns bluish-green

In neutral : no colour change

Aim :To determine which chemicals are bases and which are acids.

Apparatus Required
 Water
 Red cabbage leaves
 blender
 Vinegar, Lemon juice, Soda(baking soda), Detergent
 Glass jars of a similar size

Procedure
1. Cut the cabbage leaves into small pieces.
2. Boil 2 cups of water as they will be required to submerge your pieces later on.
3. Place the cabbage pieces into a bowl and pour the water in the bowl. Keep it for 30 minutes
so that the cabbage pieces get soaked an release its colour. You can also use a mixer to
grind the leaves and obtain a solution.
4. Then separate the juice from the leaves.
5. Take glass jars and place them about two inches apart. Pour every chemical (lemon juice,
vinegar, detergent, soap and soda) into each jar.( you can use more substances)
6. Now to determine whether the substance is a base or an acid pour the cabbage juice into
each jar.

Safety Tips
1. Since the chemical indicator is used to test acids and bases it is always advised to use
safety goggles and gloves especially while dealing with strong or concentrated chemicals.
2. Chemicals can be washed down the drain safely with water.
3. A neutralization experiment can also be done along with the test
