Purpose This experiment shows how different concentrations of acids and bases in a solution affect its pH level. When acids and bases are combined in a solution‚ they neutralize each other. This means that depending on the concentration of both acids and bases in a solution‚ the pH will vary. A neutral pH level is 7; anything below that level is known as an acidic solution‚ while anything above is known as a basic solution. To find out the pH‚ the solutions will be diluted and tested with different

DOE - Design of Experiment DOE is an approach used to identify factors/steps that are contributing most to an observed variation in product specifications. The classical DOE focuses on identifying the factors that affect the level of a product/process response‚ examining the response and forming the mathematical prediction model. The modern DOE‚ introduced by Genichi Taguchi in early 1980s‚ applies in both product and process development to identify the factors that affect the variability of the
