I am adding drops of a lemon juice solution into the Bromthymol Blue indicator to see what the change of color would be

In this lab, our purpose was to discover the properties of acids and bases, to develop methods for identifying acids and bases and also to classify unknown solutions as acids or bases. Our group first had 3 plates with little holes in it where we would place our 5 different indicators into (Phenolphthalein, Bromthymol Blue, Methyl Orange, Red Litmus and Blue Litmus). Then we would put a drop of each solutions into the indicators to see what colors they change to. These colors should match up to which category of the pH scale it should classify in, Acidic, Basic or neutral. This lab helps us understand how we can classify solutions we don’t know what pH level they belong to by simply testing them with the indicators. There were 3 unknown solutions and by simply adding a drop of each of them to the indicators, we can quickly discover if they were acidic, basic or neutral. This lab is importance to the outside world because so many of these solutions like Aspirin, oven cleaner, vinegar etc. can be found in our daily lives. Acids and bases are found in nearly everything like food and the environment therefore learning about bases and bases gives us an understanding of how it plays a role in our daily lives.
