Or anyone else with good chemistry knowledge for that fact. I was making benzoic acid from benzyl alcohol using acidified dichromate. During the course of the reaction we had to check that the solution was alkaline using pH paper, i was wondering if you knew what the purpose of this would be?
Thanks for any help.

To test it's acidity/alkalinity.
OR whatever the word for an alkaline substance is.
