Continuation of Acids and Alkali Worksheet

Headline: Continuation of Acids and Alkali Worksheet.

In today's Science lesson, we went through the worksheet on acids and alkalis which we had gone through part of it yesterday.

I learnt that:
  • In car engines, it is very unlikely for the measurement of pH to be done
  • The acid in car battery is very acidic, which have a pH of 1
  • Distilled water is neutral with a pH of 7
  • The alkali in potassium hydroxide is very alkaline as it has a pH of 13
  • When the universal indicator is added to an acid, the colour of it will first be green, then change to yellow, then orange and then red
  • As for when the universal indicator is added to a very strong alkali, with a pH of 14, it will turn violet in colour
