Program Description
Acids and bases are defined by their pH which is a numerical expression of the number of H+ and OH-in water.The pH of a solution affects the structure and activity of molecules. Acids are found in our bodies and certain foods. Bases react with acids to form new molecules.This program experiments with pH measurement and the formation of new molecules.
Program Format
