Any Doctors Here?

[ooo]

any doctors here willing to help me w/ my science fair project... well i just need a few information...

topic - How does different fruits affect the pH of urine?

what im looking for ---
1) What is the pH of apples?
2) What is the pH of oranges?

(Those are my first 2 tests, probably going to be other fruits)

-- urine ph is about 6 to 7

3) How long does it take for food to be absorbed into the urine?

please pm me if you are willing to help...

that sounds like a pish project :lol:

Oranges are acidic, so it'll probably lower the PH a fair bit.

Apples are a little acidic, so it might lower the PH slightly

I'm not sure about this though, never done biology or chemistry myself (I was a physics man)

[ooo]

lol teacher thought that was a good topic

highschool freshmen if anyone wanted to know... 9th grade...

-- still need help!

[LSA]

I had to do that same stuff...last semester (9th grade)

Most of that stuff was in my science book, probably will be in yours

[ooo]

thatz a science fair project, you know what that is right? itz not a normal project which the teacher gives to everyone....

[WeeMouse]

i would just like to ask what a science fair is and what age you are when you're in 9th grade (I'm pretty clueless i know but i just don't know these things!)


:P

just go out and buy some Litmus paper....

it rates the acidity of thing's it even has a lil counter on the side to verify....


dunno if you have it in usa... but thats what i used in UK

[ezyryder]

I shall talk to my father today perhaps he may know (chemistry teacher)

[ooo]

yes 9th grade.... litmus paper... lol... yes but urine normal ph is 7.2 - 7.6 tell me now how can i see the range!

I will not help you cheat by giving the answer, but here is how to do the test:
