Need help with a lab: 3. Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think that would be because the liquids themselves have a distinctive color.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how would that make it difficult ?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Because test strips are read by color.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there are other liquids with similar colors

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And those would also be hard to test for pH using strips.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its talking about catsup and grape juice specifically...

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think it just means substances that have distinctive colors.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks
