Coffee always mixed with milk and sugar | Coffee always mixed with milk and sugar. We know coffee is a kind of acid drink. When it mixed with water the pH level will change. I want make its pH readable through my experiment. | ||
My first idea is using this chemical reaction as pigments. Like watering the plant which has anthocyanin with different pH solutions to enhance the aesthetic environment. People can monitor and alter the pH of plants to manipulate the way they grow. And I can draw a picture using different pH solutions then spray red cabbage solution on it, colour will change because of the chemical reaction. After discussing with Miga, I think it is a good idea to use red cabbage solution to use red cabbage extract solution to know pH of different drinks and maybe can judge wether it is good to drink. | My first idea is using this chemical reaction as pigments.

The food we eat every day has gone through a series of procedures before it ever reaches our stomachs. From the beginning of planting, fertilizing, harvesting, to transporting, distributing, and cooking, each procedure involves numerous engineering works and scientific knowledge, each has contributed to the final quality of the food, and each has contributed to the final health of our body. What I focus is when food or drinks mixed with each other, is it still the original one? | The food we eat every day has gone through a series of procedures before it ever reaches our stomachs.

As we know, acid/basic is very important to our health and the alkaline environment is good to our health, how can we know the pH of our drinks in a safe, readable, even edible way? | As we know, acid/basic is very important to our health and the alkaline environment is good to our health, how can we know the pH of our drinks in a safe, readable, even edible way? | ||
I want to use red cabbage extract solution to know pH of different drinks, I can see changes of colour directly based on the chemical reaction and though comparing with pre-testing I have done, I can know pH of drinks easily. | I want to use red cabbage extract solution to know pH of different drinks, I can see changes of colour directly based on the chemical reaction and though comparing with pre-testing I have done, I can know pH of drinks easily. | ||
