    Acid: a substance that donated hydrogen ion (H+) to another substance. Examples include vinegar and lemon juice

    Base: a substance that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) from another substance. Examples include baking soda, ammonia, and oven cleaner

    4. Peanut Butter has the most edible ions in it.

    5. Pure Water has the most edible acids.


     


     


     


     

  3. Summarize the chapter in at least 5 sentences.

    This chapter is very short and teaches people what acids aere and how many can be found in foods and materials such as oven cleaner and lemons. It also teaches you about bases. The two examples I mentioned before will be perfect. Oven Cleaner is basic and lemons are more acid. Basic substances are not edible however neutral and more acid are.


     


     


     


     


     

  4. What did you learn?

    About what acids are, I knew about bases but I learned a little bit more about them.
