Sammi is busy with insubordinate people atm. What's the assignment?
i did the first part
Now it is time to do a scavenger hunt around your house to find more examples of acids and bases. Be sure to check in your fridge, medicine cabinet, and in the cleaning supplies. Don’t forget to read the labels on products to find the names or formulas of acids and bases they may contain. Find at least five acids and five bases for your list, making sure that there are some items on your list that were not mentioned in the lesson. Whenever possible, list the product/item and the formula or name of the acid or base.
@Zedditup
That's pretty easy, actually. Obviously there are some things mentioned in the lesson that are probably not that hard to find. However, for example, dish soap is a base. Milk is also a base. Then there is white vinegar, which is an acid. It wants you to also list the product (so like milk) and its formula OR its name. So, the chemical formula for white vinegar, for example, would be CH(_3) COOH, while its name is loosely acetic acid(but vinegar is distilled a little)
can i give you an item and you help me out with it ?
@Zedditup
I'll try
ok
soap
what would be the formula for soap? @Zedditup
What kind of soap?
Try to name the brand as well
DIAl
@Zedditup
Dish, hand, bar soap, which one? I'm not sure if they have different things, but I think they would
bar soap @Zedditup
im doing bases rn
I'm not positive on the formula, but as for the name a common thing in soaps is triclocarban
The question does ask for the name OR formula I believe. I could be wrong
it does say "or"
@Zedditup
it also says "Characteristics that indicate it is a base"
we arent finding the formula btw just the "name". unless you know the formula
so what are the Characteristics that indicate it is a base
@Zedditup
One definite thing is that, when put through the test with Litmus paper, the paper will turn blue if it is a base. Soap is a base, which is why it's so good at breaking up the grime on your hands and body
for each object im going to post another one so you can get more medals and feel like you arent waisting your time
@Zedditup
is that ok @Zedditup
10 medals ?
@Zedditup
Well acetic acid is in vinegar usually 8-12% by weight.
Other acids include citric acid, which is found in lemons
Photon can you help me with bases for rn
@Photon336
There's lactic acid, that's found in milk, ascorbic acid, that's vitamin C, and sulfuric acid found in car batteries. for the bases our list goes on You have things such as Household Ammonia, also a strong drain cleaner like (Sodium Hydroxide)m, Washing soda - sodium carbonate Baking soda - sodium hydrogen carbonate also called sodium bicarbonate, Chalk, Toothpaste, Antacid tablets Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide plus water) list goes on lol.
that's just about everything
whats the name for chalk @Photon336
Calcium Carbonate \[CaCO _{3}\]
whats the name for toothpaste? @Photon336
