Question 7:  Did the Rolaids solution function as a good buffer? Justify your results.

Question 8:  Compare the yellowing of the phenol red in the Rolaids solution with the yellowing of the phenol red in the alkaline water when challenged with increasing drops of vinegar (Table 2-6, p. 42). Discuss the significance of these results.

Explanation / Answer

7) The Rolaids solution did not function as a good buffer. This can be determined by its inability to maintain the pH of the solution. It cannot neutralise the excess acid in the stomach.
