Memorandum
NATURAL SCIENCES

1
Hypothesis: Write down your hypothesis (prediction for this investigation)

Any logical hypothesis linked to the outcome of the experiment


(example handy Andy will be a base and lemon juice an acid
(1)

Analysis:
1. What is the Litmus paper and Red Cabbage Juice called in this
investigation?
Acid base indicator (1)

2. How does the Red Litmus paper indicate when a substance is an acid?
Red Litmus Paper: stays red
(1)

3. Which of the substances tested are acids?


answers may vary due to colour changes (lemon juice & vinegar)
(2)
4. How does the Blue Litmus paper indicate when a substance is a base?
Blue Litmus Paper: stays blue
(1)

5. Which of the substances you tested are bases?


handy Andy & baking soda (2)

6. How does the red cabbage juice indicate that the substance is
6.1 An acid: turns red in colour
(1)
6.2 A base turns a greenish colour
(1)
7. How does the re litmus paper, blue litmus paper and the red cabbage juice
indicator indicate that the substance is a neutral substance?
Red Litmus Paper: red (1)
Blue Litmus Paper: blue
(1) Red Cabbage Juice : blue
(1)
8. What would be the pH value on the pH scale of the substance in
Question 7?
7 (1)
9. Antacids are used for heart burn. Do you think that they are used to treat
the presence of too much stomach acid or too little stomach acid? Explain.
Since they are basic/alkali in nature, they are used to treat too much acid in
the stomach
(2)

10. Can we call the bicarbonate of soda an alkali? Explain your answer. (2)

2
yes , it is a soluble base
(2)

Conclusion
Write a conclusion based on your results (Remember! Your conclusion must
be written in response to your aim) (2)
