Acids+and+Bases_16OWE


 * When you add water to Drain Cleaner (base) the pH level goes down.
 * When you add water to Battery Acid (acid) the pH level goes up.
 * The pH level goes up or down because water is at a 7 level. When you add the 7 pH level to the it is getting closer to 7. In conclusion we are deluding it. We are making it more neutral.

Acids and Bases are measured by a pH scale. Anything above seven, which is neutral, is a base. Anything below seven is an acid. When we add water, which has a pH level of seven, it makes whatever we add it to gets closer to 7. For instance if add water to drain cleaner the pH gets lower. This happens because drain cleaner is a base. Now if we add more water to vomit then the pH gets higher. This happens because vomit is an acid.
