ACID!!!!

  
        Now I don't know what kind of acid you thinking of, but i'm talking about STOMACH acid.  Makayla Apadoca, Melody Franklin, and myself all participated in a lab where we put antacids in vinegar that represented stomach acid.  In this lab we monitored what happened to the antacids as we dropped them in.  They would bubble and what not, but then settle before to long.  The better things I learned were the differences between acids and basis on the Ph scale.  Acids are on the lower end of the Ph scale.  But The higher end of it is bases.  The scale ranges from 0 to 14.
      In the lab the Vinegar turned out to be very acidic.  Once after we had added the antacid, The Ph strip showed that the Vinegar had become mostly a base.  In the experiment, I learned the different between the basis, and the acids.  I also learned that if i get a stomach ache, i'm a ganna be takin some flavored Tums cuase they work better.
