Ahh, It Burns!
Overview
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project was to see how differnt metals are affected by varying pH's. Methods/Materials Sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, lemon juice, water, vinegar, copper, zinc, aluminum, triple beam balance, and goggles. Results Varying pH's do affect metals but the type of solution and pH level determines the ammount. Conclusions/Discussion Sodium hydroxide affected the metals the most.
