Identify two acids and two bases that you use or come into contact with in an average week. Identify uses for each substance.
Two acids I encounter in an average week are vinegar (acetic acid), which is used for flavoring and preserving food, and citric acid found in lemon juice or soda, used for flavoring. Two bases I encounter are ammonia and bleach, which are used as household cleaning products for disinfecting and stain removal. I also encounter antacids like milk of magnesia to neutralize stomach acid.
