The video tutorial demonstrates how to test the pH levels of everyday substances using litmus paper. Four substances—window cleaner, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda solution—are tested to determine if they are acids or bases. The results show that window cleaner and baking soda are bases, while lemon juice and vinegar are acids. The experiment is recorded on a pH chart, and the video concludes with a summary of the findings and a farewell message.
