Measuring the pH of our samples: What we did
To measure the pH of our samples, ...few experiments to determine if our tubes were permeable to the CO2 released from dry ice, and whether ... is that some of tubes’ o-rings are, in fact, permeable to CO2 at low temperatures (-80°C) and once in...the color of the liquid solution and pH paper to measure the pH. We compared the dry ice-stored samples ...Not all tubes (or rather, not all O-rings) were permeable to CO2 at low temperatures. We tested two different...tubes after the indicated incubation periods, and measured the pH.
