Cabbage Juice Indicator... who knew?

Here we have distilled water (neutral), baking soda water (basic) and lemon juice (acid). Add a little cabbage juice and voila.... we have color change!

The neutral distilled water turned purple.

The basic baking soda water turned green.

The acidic lemon juice turned pink.

And for fun, we tested vinegar which is supposed to be acidic. We got more of a red color than pink... indicating acidic but perhaps less acidic than the lemon juice??? Very interesting.

Then we added the acid to the base and kept pouring back and forth to verify they neutralized each other.... and they did.
