The Effect Of Temperature On The Ph Of Orange Juice

Good Essays

My question is “Does the temperature of a substance effect it’s ph?.” I will be testing this by using ph indicator strips that change color when it comes in contact with an acid or a base and comparing it with a color chart. The substances I will be using are vinegar, orange juice , and lemon juice. These can all be found at a local grocery store. The ph paper and color chart can be found at Walmart. Besides my experiment there have been other experiments that have tested temperature’s effect on ph. They also wanted to know whether temperature affects the ph. I found an experiment online called “Effect of Temperature on the pH of orange juice” done by students from Nease High School. Unlike my project, they only tested Orange Juice. They used 5 different temperatures, and the result was that the temperature had no effect. Another experiment I found online called “ Does storage temperature affect the ph of Orange Juice” by Anna Elizondo also only used Orange Juice. Her results were that the juice was more acidic at a hot temperature. The last experiment i found was on the lines of my experiment, but was more about my hypothesis. It was called “Does Storage Temperature Affect Orange Juice 's Acidity?”. Like the other experiments, this one only used Orange Juice. They used ph paper to measure the acidity at 40 degrees-50 degrees over the span of 2 days. Their conclusion was that the ph was still the same. I will be using cold cups of vinegar, orange juice,
