What happens if you add phenol red to water and blow in it with a straw?

Just did this in my BIO 100 lab at SDSU so I know this answer... Background: Phenol red is a pH indicator which is yellow in acidic solutions and red in basic solutions. When you blow into the water with the phenol red, you are adding Carbon Dioxide into the solution. Carbon Dioxide would make this solution more acidic. Therefore this presence of Carbon Dioxide would change the solution color from red to a more orange - yellow color. Hope that helps!


What happens when you blow a straw into lime water?

What happens to the level of water in the straw when you squeezed the bottle?

When you put a straw in a water bottle I think the straw stinks and then when you let go of breathing in the water bottle I think it increases and then after that I think when you boil water and then you put the straw in the bottle and put the boiling hot water in the bottle and then I think the straw is like cutting it thanks for reading this but I think it's the wrong answer sorry if it is


Is hydrogen acidic or alkaline?

Hydrogen will increase the acidity of a solution, otherwise know as pH. the lower the pH the higher the acidity. Adding carbon dioxide (breathe through a straw) will reverse the effects and increase the pH, making it more basic.

Why does the solution of water and sugar move up the straw in a tied baggie when put in water?

Osmotic pressure. The concentration in the bag is greater than outside the bag. Sugar molecules cannot pass thru the bag but water can. To try to create the same concentration inside and outside the bag water moves into the bag to dilute the solution inside the bag. This extra water now in the bag causes the liquid to move up the straw.

What happens to the air pressure in the straw when you suck lemonade?

The pressure in the straw goes to negative.[We cannot have a negative pressure - this grammar form is known as an oxymoron.]A2. The pressure in the straw is reduced, and thus the liquid is able to be drawn higher in the straw.

Are the air bubbles that form on a straw submerged in liquid formed from oxygen that is already in the water or are they carried into the water by the straw as it is submerged?

The straw gives energy to dissolved gases in the liquid, be those gases oxygen, or whatever. The energy given to the gases causes those gases to come out of solution in the water, and to collect on the surface of the straw.
