  1. Universal Indicator Groupmates: Carmen Cheung (4) Chris Chow (7) Sandy Luk (21) Gary Ma (25) Hendrick Wong (28) Brian Wong (29)

  2. Introduction Acid-base indicator  color change with pH Detect acidity and alkalinity Plant pigments  colour dependent of pH

  3. Aims Explore  Extraction of natural indicators  Color change Determine  Which plant can be an indicator  Which can cover the pH range

  4. Precautions Goggles Water bath Prevent direct heating

  5. Apparatus and Chemicals used Fruits - oranges, apples, grapes Vegetables - beetroot, spinach, cauliflower, ginger, chili Flowers – carnation, hibiscus Mortar and pestle Test tube Test tube rack Beaker Dropper Ethanol Stirring rods Deionized or distilled water 0.1M HCl (aq) (pH1) NaOH(s) 100cm3 and 10cm3 Measuring cylinder

  6. Procedures Preparing pH 1-14 solutions Extracting the indicator Testing the pH solutions with the indicators prepared Testing the solutions with methyl orange and phenolphthalein Comparing the color changes of the indicators

  7. Result Hibiscus Methyl Orange & Phenolphthalein

  8. Result

  9. Discussion • Questions • Why hibiscus can as the indicator for different pH ? • Contains anthocyanine [1,2] • Pigment Pink, red, purple, violet and blue • Dye extracted  Changes its colour  Hydrogen ion conc. of the solution

  10. Discussion • Why other substance used can only detect the pH of alkali ? • Equivalence point obtained  Coincident the one by standard indicator • Flower extract  Use of mixed indicator

  11. Discussion 3.Any differences between the efficiency of hibiscus and phenolphthalein ?

  12. Discussion • Error & Improvement • Experiment was carried out once only  Carried again  Raise the accuracy • Titration has not been carried out  Titration should be carried out  With methyl orange, phenolphthalein and hibiscus indicator respectively  Color change can be observed

  13. Discussion • Only parts of flowers & fruits crushed to make indicators  Should be crushed more times  Should be used twice by one titration

  14. Discussion • Conc. of flowers & fruits in indicators for color change not investigated  Different conc. of the flowers and fruits in indicators  Different effects on color change  Indicator of different conc. should be prepared in each titration

  15. Discussion • Solution extracted in foam state  Not pure enough  Affected color change

  16. Discussion • Limitation  Inaccurate equipment for extracting pure solution

  17. Conclusion Hibiscus  Universal indicator Distinct color changes

  18. Reflection Poor time management Poor preparation A gain of knowledge Deeper interest in Chemistry

  19. Universal Indicator The End
