Today in our class we first talked about pH. We learned that it is a measure of how basic or acidic water is. On a scale from 0 to 14, zero would be extremely acidic, 7 would be neutral (pure water) and 14 is a base. We were taught that if there is a OH- hydroxide ion before, or in the formula, it means it is a base. Or, if there is an H+ ion in it, it means that it is an acid. Next in our class we got out all of the different liquids that people brought and we got out the pH papers. We then told what pH balance what liquid was. So, here are my results...
- Cucumber melon perfume- pH of 6
- Carried Away Perfume- pH of 6
- Tea- pH of 7
- Water- pH of 7
- Gatorade- pH of 5
- Pickle Juice- pH of 4
- Vitamin water- pH of 5
- Mountain Dew- pH of 5
- Tonic water- pH of 1
- Sodium hydroxide- pH of 13 or maybe even 14
