Red Cabbage Chemistry - Sick Science! #105

...but the smell...

If you don't want to buy universal indicator, make yourself some red cabbage solution. It's cheaper. It's available at your local grocery store.

And it smells like cabbage.

You can - if you're a school - also buy cabbage extract powder from some science suppliers.

It's a great way to pass an afternoon...or just to entertain yourself while your significant other makes red cabbage to go along with the smoked sausages if you - like I - don't eat cabbage.

Results after the jump...in case you're too lazy to do the experiment yourself...
