ACID-BASE PROJECT

ACID: VINEGAR

• It's main acid is acetic acid
• It's chemical formula is C2H4O2
• It's melting point is from 16 to 17 degrees Celcius
• Its boiling point is from118 to 119 degrees Celcius
• Its acidity is 4.76
• Concentrated acetic acid is very corrosive
• It helps keep the flies off of horses
• You can use it in many ways around the house
• The only hazards with it is do not get it in your eyes

ACID: CAR BATTERY

• It contains sulfuric acid.
• Its chemical formula is H2SO4
• It is colorless and can only be in a liquid state.
• It is odorless and has a sour taste.
• It is also extremely corrosive to skin and body tissues.
• The boiling point is 348 degrees Celcius.
• The melting point is anywhere between 10-15 degrees Celcius.
• It is soluble in water and it is a non conductor of electricity.
• This acid helps cars run by starting the engine so that the car will run.
• Do not touch this acid because it is extremely corrosive.

BASE: BAKING SODA

• Its main ingredient is sodium bicarbonate ( NaC2).
• The melting point is at 60 degrees Celsius.
• It is soluble in water and is white and odorless.
• It is a weak base which weakly ionizes in water.
• When in a reaction with an acid it liberates carbon dioxide.
• When cooking baking soda releases carbon dioxide making the baked item "rise".
• It is a very good cooking item seeing as it rises and that lets us know when it is done.
• One hazard that goes with baking soda is do not eat it.

BASE: SOAP

• Soap contains either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide (KOH or NaOH).
• The melting point is at 318.4 degrees Celsius
• The boiling point is at 1390 degrees Celsius.
• It is soluble in water and is stable under ordinary conditions.
• Soap helps us get clan and it also gives us sodium back into our body and also potassium.
• A hazard with soap is do not get into your eyes and do not eat it.
