Effects Produced When An Acid And Base Is Added To An Unbuffered System

In this experiment we observed the different effects produced when an acid or a base is added to an unbuffered system (water) and to a buffered system. After seeing that when the acid was added to the unbuffered solution, we found that the color changed from a purple to a pink. My team and I estimated the pH to be a 3. When the base was added to the unbuffered solution the color changed from a purple to a green color. We determined the pH to be 13. When we added the acid and base to the buffer solution, the colors changed slightly, but the pH remained close to the original pH. We were able to tell that the water changed pH when the acid or base was added because the pH indicator (cabbage juice) changed the neutral water to a different
