Name:Date:Mid-YearTest ADirections: Read the passage, then answer the questions that follow.Acids, Bases, and ChangesAshley read about acids, bases, and indicators. She learned that purple cabbage juice is anindicator. It becomes green on a base and changes to yellow in an acid. In a neutralsubstance, cabbage juice stays purple. When an acid and base are mixed, a chemical changeoccurs and the mixture becomes neutral. If the cabbage juice is added after the reaction, itwill stay purple.Ashley set up two experiments. In the first experiment, she added cabbage juice to vinegarand an antacid tablet, as shown in the before and after pictures.In the second experiment, Ashley added two antacid tablets to 50 mL of vinegar. After 1minute, Ashley added 15 drops of cabbage juice to the beaker.18.
