solution (10g in 50ml water) in another 2 beakers.
2. Label the beakers with vinegar as V1 and V2, then the beaker with
baking soda as BS1 and BS2.
3. Measure the pH of the solution.
4. Put 1 aspirin tablet each in V1 and BS1, then 1 bisacodyl tablet each in
V2 and BS2.
5. Wait for several minutes.
6. Observe and record the solubility of each tablet.
