Sci ence

The test papers will usually be either pink or blue. It is good practice to use one of each when testing a solution to make sure that you get the right answer. Another naturally-occurring indicator can be extracted from red cabbage: ● Chop the leaves finely. ● Add water. l Boil until the water becomes strongly coloured. ● Filter the mixture. Red cabbage extract is red in acidic solutions, purple in neutral solutions and green in alkaline solutions.

E:Chemicalchanges2:Newmaterialsandindicators

E: Chemical changes 2: New materials and indicators Chemical reactions may be naturally-occurring or man-made. All chemical reactions result in the formation of new materials, some of which may be useful to us in a variety of ways. You need to be able to recognise the difference between natural and man-made (synthetic) materials. Making new materials Nearly all materials are made through chemical reactions. Naturally-occurring chemical reactions in the cells of living things make new materials for them to grow and reproduce. Sometimes this creates materials that are useful for humans as well, for example wood, cotton, wool. Many materials used to make everyday things are created by man-made ( synthetic ) processes. For example, plastics, paraffin wax, concrete. Chemists use chemical changes to make new materials that are useful. For example, Spencer Silver was working with chemical changes to make stronger glues for the space industry. While he was doing this he discovered the special ‘tacky’ glue used for sticky notes when an experiment did not turn out the way he expected. Ruth Berenito was an American chemist who saw that cotton fabrics were hard to care for because they became so crumpled and hard to iron when washed. She carried out experiments to find a way of coating the fibres of cotton fabric to stop them becoming so bent and tangled when they were put into water. Indicators All solutions can be described as being acidic , neutral or alkaline . ● Acidic: lemon juice,vinegar. ● Neutral: salt solution, sugar solution,pure water. ● Alkaline:bicarbonate of soda solution,many cleaning products. Safe acids taste sour. Safe alkalis may taste or feel soapy. Neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline. chemist man-made naturally-occuring synthetic acidic alkaline extract indicator neutral

(5) 4 Chemists are working hard to find plant-based materials as alternatives to oil products for making plastics.Suggest one reason why this is necessary. (1) 5 (a) Describe how you might extract the coloured pigment from some orange berries.

Many acids and alkalis are not safe to taste or handle so we use indicators to tell us whether a solution is acidic, neutral or alkaline. Indicators are substances, often extracted from natural materials, which react with acids and alkalis to give diagnostic colour changes. Litmus is pink in acidic solutions, blue in alkaline solutions and purple in neutral solutions. Litmus may be in the form of a solution or as test papers.

(4) (b) It is found that the orange berry extract shows orange in acids,dark yellow in neutral liquids and paler yellow in alkalis.Would you consider this to be a good indicator? Explain your answer.

BeakerA: Ifboth strips show pink, the solution is acidic.

BeakerB: If the pink strip stayspink and the

BeakerC: Ifboth strips show blue, the solution is alkaline.

blue strip stays blue, the solution is neutral.
