Buffer Reaction

Problem: ocean water has been used as dumping ground of all of our waste.

Hypothesis: what will happen if we dump acids or bases in our ocean?

 Material:

  • Ocean water
  • Distilled water
  • HCl 2% acid
  • pH paper 

    Procedure:

    1. take the pH of the distilled water and ocean water
    2. add HCl 2% to each sample
    3. take the pH of each sample and note the changes
Item pH
Distilled water 7
Distilled water with HCl 3.5
Ocean water 8
Ocean water with HCl 3.5
