Welcome ! CAPT Physical Science
What is an ACID? AnACID is a Compound that has Hydrogen at the Beginning of its formula Examples of Acids: HCl H2SO4 HNO3 • Here’s what you should know about acids: • Can burn your skin • React with metals • Can damage building materials What's a BASE ? - Opposite of an ACID - Used to Neutralize and ACID - Formula ends with -OH
How do we Measure ACID or BASE ? pH Scale
BASES ACIDS vs. Let's Sort These: Lemon Juice Alka-Seltzer Orange Juice Vinegar Calcium Carbonate (TUMS, Rolaids) Baking Soda
BASES ACIDS vs. Let's Sort These: Alka-Seltzer Lemon Juice Calcium Carbonate (TUMS, Rolaids) Vinegar Baking Soda Orange Juice What is ACID RAIN ?
When pollutants combine with water they make acid rain, rain that is acidic (pH<5.5) ACID Rain
Acid Rain Lab Lab Discussion & Analysis How is the type of building material affected by acid rain? What is the Independent Variable? What is the Dependent Variable? What should be Controlled in this experiment?
