This colorful rainbow of liquids was created through putting drops of HCl and NaOH into cabbage juice. HCl is an acidic substance, and the pH is lower than neutral 7 and becomes redder as opposed to the neutral purple. NaOH is a basic substance, and the pH becomes higher and bluer. Cabbage juice changes color depending on the hydrogen ions added, which determines its acidity or baseness.
