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:
- take the pH of the distilled water and ocean water
- add HCl 2% to each sample
- 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 |
