Which property of a substance can be determined using a pH indicator?
Electrical Conductivity.
How do scientific tests help determine the properties of substance?
Scientific tests can help determine substances that appear similar but react differently under the same circumstances. By observing the reactions of the substance using an experiment, you can determine what that substance is made from.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pH strips?
Advantages to using pH strips is that the user does not have to determine which indicator to use for a sample, they are inexpensive and it's a faster way to receive results than using indicators. Disadvantages to using pH strips is that the accuracy is lower and the solution should be only clear and colorless.
What properties of substances can you observe and how do these properties determine the usefulness or hazards of a substance?
You can observe physical, chemical, and characteristic properties of a substance and can be used to determine the usefulness of a substance by, giving us information about the substance usually using our 5 senses which are physical properties. Or being able to describe the substances ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances, chemical property. Or even just being able to identify whether or not the substance is pure or not can help us determine if the substance is hazardous or not. two other properties I did not mention were the qualitative and the quantitative properties.
