Answer:

Red cabbage juice contains a natural pH indicator that changes colors depending on the acidity of the solution. The pigment in red cabbage that causes the red color change is called flavin (an anthocyanin). ... At a lower pH, more hydrogen ions are in solution, and therefore the solution is acidic

Actually I don't know but I tried so I hope it helped u!
