The ph Scale

Summary: You're trapped in a room and a cloaked figure is giving you 3 jars. One jar is filled with an acid that will burn right through you! Another is filled with a base liquid that with a sip you will be as good as gone. Then of course one is filled with a neutral that will let you go home free and alive. So which one do you pick? Well luckily I have my ph meter always with me... but I don't know how to use it. Well not until this week's science class! There are clear differences when using a ph scale. The left side of our scale is our acids. These come in colors from red the most deadly to dark pink.  Then we have the the very middle a ph of 7 this is our lucky neutral our salvation in this case which is usually in some form of purple. Then on the far right we got our bases. These come in a range from blue to yellow. Now let's see if we can survive this crazy dilemma.

S&EP; Analyzing Data: Now we have used our ph meter on each of the three test tubes. The ph scale identifies 3 colors. We have in the first tube a dark green color.  Lets start there. Since we know the right side of the scale is bases and the left is acids we need to remember the colors connected. Well do you remember that the bases are from the range of blue to yellow. Well if we refer to the image above we can see that this vial is not for drinking. Ok 1 down 2 to go. You see we did processes like this this entire week except we were  not risking our lives more so our grades.

XCC; Stability and Change: Stability. We all want that right. Something to depend on to feel complete. Well atoms are just the same. That why we have acids and bases. Acids can help give to your needy atom to become complete. Then we have our bases that get your greedy atoms that got one too many to ease up their load and be complete. See its easy as pie. Don't try to put acids and base in your pie they will not make that complete!
