PHscaleessaysICS16CAB

Macro When i added water to the beaker usually the number on the ph scale got larger. I think this is because the water is a neutral. In contrast when I added water to the spit the number got larger, maybe the spit was a base. The same thing happened with coffee. I think that when the substance is a base it gets more acidic and when a base is a acid it gets less acidic. I think this is because the water is trying to make it balance out the acid.

Micro

In this program i observed that many of the substances already had h2o before i even added water so when i added more water it might go over the scale. This program also showed the moles and the amount of water. The amounts on the scales were in scientific notation. The molecule amount increased when more water was added, this was also in scientific notation. This program had a different measuring system from the macro one but had the same substances.

My solution

Hydronium and hydroxide amounts are the same when the substance is neutral. Hydronium amounts increase when it is more acidic. Hydroxide also increases when it is more acidic. Both cant be large amounts because they must balance out one large one small amount. When the hydronium or the hydroxide is at the top of a scale they have 5.0 molecules and when they are neutral they both have the same amount of molecules.
