A common exercise is to test equal-strength solutions of hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, ammonia solution and sodium hydroxide side by side, so students see that strong and weak acids (or alkalis) give clearly different colours even at the same concentration. The paper is equally useful for following how pH changes as an acid is progressively diluted, for checking the pH of salt solutions, and for confirming that waste is close to neutral before disposal.
Place a drop of sample on a leaf resting on a clean spotting tile or watch glass, then match the colour against the pH colour reference at once. Use only dilute solutions with students, and have them wear goggles and gloves when strong acids or alkalis are on the bench. Leaves that have touched a sample should be discarded, not returned to the book.

How is this different from the plain Paper, Universal?
Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 reads the full pH 1–14 scale, while the plain Paper, Universal in our range covers pH 1-11. Choose the pH 1-14 paper whenever strongly alkaline solutions are part of the practical.
What does one case contain?
Each plastic case of Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 contains 10 books with 20 leaves in every book, so one book can be handed to each group while the rest of the case stays closed and dry.
Can a leaf be used more than once?
No. Once a leaf of Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 has changed colour it should be discarded, because reusing it mixes colours from different samples and gives unreliable readings.
