-choose equipment and preform a first hand investigation to identify the pH of a range of salt solutions.

If anybody could help me out or give me a few pointers it would be greatly appreciated.

Choose the most appropriate equipment available to you. If possible, a pH meter or data logger with probe would be most suitable, otherwise select indicator solution or indicator paper to measure the pH of the salt solutions.
To ensure you perform a valid investigation, prepare solutions of salts of equal concentration. Suitable salts are ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and potassium acetate (KCH3COO).

In my notes i just had...
~ Strong base+strong acid -> pH= 7

~ Strong Base+weak acid -> ph >7

~ Weak base+strong acid -> ph <7

~ Weak base+weak acid -> ph=7

additional info: ph is due to the conjugates produced

i remember there is something about the number of H+ and OH- ions present in water as a result of the anion/cation?
