Acids+and+Bases+16MAR

I choose coffee for my acid. When you add water it becomes more basic, which is getting closer to 7. Its becoming neutralized. The more water you added to the coffee the more it basic it gets. Also the water makes the coffee change color. It turns from dark brown to very light brown. I also tried this with another acid, which was chicken soup and it also got more basic as you add more water to it. So these 2 acids were the same. The base I choose was drain cleaner. When you add water to this it gets more acidic, trying to get neutralized. Another base I choose was blood, the same thing happens. In conclusion, when water is added to a base it becomes more acidic. When you add water to an acid it become more basic. The PH level helps you determine what a substance is.
