    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.
