Can someone please help me with this?

Are these substances acids or bases?

1. Tums- Base, right?
2. Vitamin C- Acid, right?
3. Nail Polish Remover- Base or Acid?
4. Coca Cola Pop- Acid, right?
5. Cream of Tarter- Acid, right?
6. Calamine Lotion- Base or Acid?
7. Lemon Juice- Acid, right?
8. Table Salt- Acid or Base or is it Neutral?
9. Fruit Juice- Acid or Base?
10. Baking Soda- Base, right?
11. Coffee- Acid, right?

Thanks for the help!

1. Tums- Base, right?

2. Vitamin C- Acid, right?
3. Nail Polish Remover- Base or Acid?I looked up the MSDS for acetone and it is listed as 7 which would be neutral.
4. Coca Cola Pop- Acid, right?
5. Cream of Tarter- Acid, right?
6. Calamine Lotion- Base or Acid?This is a mixture of ZnO and Fe2O3 but no listing of the solvent. MSDS doesn't list the pH. If some of the ZnO dissolves in water, it would be slightly basic.
7. Lemon Juice- Acid, right?
8. Table Salt- Acid or Base or is it Neutral?neutral
9. Fruit Juice- Acid or Base?acid
10. Baking Soda- Base, right?
11. Coffee- Acid, right? slightly acid
The others look ok to me.

I'd be happy to help you with this!

Determining whether a substance is an acid or a base is usually done by testing its pH level. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 being highly acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being highly basic (or alkaline). Acids have pH values below 7, while bases have pH values above 7.

Now, let's go through each substance and determine whether it is an acid or a base:

1. Tums: Tums are antacid tablets used to relieve heartburn or acid indigestion. They contain calcium carbonate, which is a base. Therefore, Tums is a base.

2. Vitamin C: Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an acid. Therefore, Vitamin C is an acid.

3. Nail Polish Remover: Nail polish remover typically contains acetone, which is neither an acid nor a base. It is considered a solvent. Therefore, nail polish remover is neither an acid nor a base.

4. Coca Cola Pop: Coca Cola contains carbonic acid, which gives it a slightly acidic pH. Therefore, Coca Cola is an acid.

5. Cream of Tarter: Cream of tartar is a common name for potassium hydrogen tartrate, which is an acid. Therefore, Cream of Tarter is an acid.

6. Calamine Lotion: Calamine lotion contains zinc oxide, which is a base. Therefore, Calamine Lotion is a base.

7. Lemon Juice: Lemon juice contains citric acid, giving it an acidic pH. Therefore, Lemon Juice is an acid.

8. Table Salt: Table salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is considered neutral since it is composed of sodium chloride.

9. Fruit Juice: Fruit juice can vary in pH depending on the type of fruit. Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons contain citric acid, making them acidic. However, other fruits like apples may be more neutral. So, fruit juice can be either an acid or neutral.

10. Baking Soda: Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a base. Therefore, Baking Soda is a base.

11. Coffee: Coffee usually has a slightly acidic pH due to the presence of various organic acids. Therefore, Coffee is an acid.

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
