The purpose of this activity is to understand the concepts of acid-base reactions, neutralization and molarity. The lab will be introduced with a series of test tubes showing the different colors red cabbage juice has for different pH values.  Prior to this inquiry-based experiment, students have performed respiratory experiments using bromthymol blue, litmus paper, and pH paper as indicators.  This experiment can be used for high school chemistry and physiology classes.
