    The document outlines an experiment to test if white, yellow, and pink hibiscus flowers can be used as acid-base indicators like red hibiscus. Petals will be crushed into a paste and added to acids and bases to observe any color changes. It is hypothesized that the pastes will change color—turning red in acids and purple in bases—which would indicate they can serve as indicators. The experiment will collect data on the color changes observed for each flower and reagent to determine the indicator range of each hibiscus variety.

    Title: Acids, Bases, salts

    Problem Statement: It is known that red hibiscus flower can be used as an acid base indicator. Some
    students suggest that the white, yellow, and pink hibiscus can be used as well. Plan and design an
    experiment to investigate this claim and find out the indicator range of the hibiscus flower.

    Hypothesis: If the White, Yellow, and pink hibiscus flower are made into a paste it may result an
    indicator

    Aim: To find out the indicator range of the hibiscus flower to see if the pink, yellow and white
    hibiscus flower can be used as an acid base indicator.

    Apparatus: mortar and pestle, white, yellow and pink hibiscus flower, beaker, filter paper

    Reagents: (HCL) Hydrochloric acid,(HNO3) Nitric acid, baking soda, (NaOH) Sodium Hydroxide,(KOH)
    Potassium Hydroxide

    Method:

    1) Remove the petals from white hibiscus flower and place on a flat surface.

    2) Crush white petals using mortar and pestle.

    3) Place crushed essence into beaker .Add water to crushed petals to form a paste leave fir 24 hrs.

    4) Filter paste using filter paper

    5) After residue is collected, place into a beaker of HCL, HNO3, Baking Soda and NaOH, and KOH
    respectively.

    6) Record the colour change and indicator range. Present findings in a table.

    7) Repeat step 1-6 for yellow and pink hibiscus flowers

    Variables:

    Controlled variables: volume of reagents

    Manipulated variables: White, Pink, Yellow hibiscus flower

    Responding Variables: colour change

    Use of data: To identify the indicator range of pink, yellow and white hibiscus flower along with its
    acidity and basicity.

    Collected Data:

    Flower Indicator Range Indicator Range Indicator Range Indicator Range


    HCL HNO3 NAOH KOH
    PINK HIBISCUS
    YELLOW
    HIBISCUS
    WHITE HIBISCUS
    TABLE SHOWING THE INDICATOR RANGE OF PINK, YELLOW, AND WHITE HIBISCUS FLOWERS WHEN
    ADDED TO AN ACID OR BASE.

    Expected results: When acids are added to the plants petals they are expected to become red. When
    bases are added to the plant petals they are expected to turn green or blue.

    Limitations: Petals may not be crushed properly

    Precautions: Be careful when using acidic chemicals as they are irritating to the skin

    Assumptions: If the hypothesis is true the paste will turn red if it is acidic and purple if the reagent is
    basic. No changes will occur if the hypothesis is false

    Sources of error: The natural colour of the hibiscus petals may affect the colour change when
    reagents are added to determine acidity or basicity.
