Question:
What atoms are in sour foods?

Hypothesis:
I predict that sour foods contain high concentration of loose hydrogen atoms.

Procedure:
Step 1: Numbered all five cups.
Step 2: Added in all five cups five drops of food.
Step 3: Added one drop of dye into all five cups.
Step 4: Put cups in order, from high concentration to low concentration.

Data:
After adding the dye it showed the concentration of loose hydrogen atoms in the food. Cup 1 turned yellow, cup 2 turned green, cup 3 turned peach, cup 4 turned orange, and cup 5 turned blue. Then I was able to tell which cup had the most or lease concentration. Cup 3 had the highest concentration followed by cup 4, cup1, cup 2, least concentration was cup5.
I was able to identify what types of food were in each cup. Cup 3 the highest concentration was lemon juice, cup 4 was vinegar, cup 1 was orange juice, cup 2 was milk, and cup 5 was water.

Results:
My hypothesis was proven true. Sour foods contain high concentration of loose hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:
Sour foods contain high concentration of loose atoms.

What are acids and bases?
Acids are known to be compounds that include hydrogen and can dissolve in water to release hydrogen ions into solution. Bases can make an acid weaker, and is sodium hydroxide.

What is a molecule?
Molecules are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

Why is PH important in the ocean?
Because it is saturated with calcium carbonate, important organic molecule for organisms like corals, mollusks and crustaceans.
