    Hi! My name is Caimey… I am in the eighth grade and I need some urgent help on my science project, like NOW! Haha, so I hope you can help. For this project, we have to create a pH scale (0-14) and list three examples of each. So, I have gone through and researched this. I know that you are thinking this is a really easy project, and I know it is. Although, I did get stumped on like three or four of the examples though, so can you help me, please? Best answer gets ten points. Thanks! Here is what I have…

    pH Scale:
    Acids:
    0 – HCI, Battery Acid, & Strong Hydrochloric Acid.
    1 – Stomach Acid, Sulfuric Acid, & ?
    2 – Lemon Juice, Vinegar, & Gastric Acid.
    3 – Grapefruit, Orange Juice, & Soft Drinks.
    4 – Tomato Juice, Beer, & Acid Rainwater.
    5 – Bananas, Black Coffee, & Soft Drinking Water.
    6 – Milk, Urine, & Saliva.
    Nuetral:
    7 – "Pure" Water
    Bases:
    8 – Egg Whites, Blood, & Seawater.
    9 – Toothpaste, Baking Soda, & Olive Oil.
    10 – Tums, Milk of Magnesium, & Salt.
    11 – Household Ammonia, ?, & ?
    12 – Mineral Lime, Soapy Water, & ?
    13 – Drano, Bleach, & Oven Cleaner.
    14 – NaOH, ?, & ?

    So, basically here is what I need. I need one example for the pH of 1, two examples for the pH of 11, one example for the pH of 12, and lastly . . . two examples for the pH of 14. Thank you so much, I hope that you can help me out. Also, please look at what I already have listed above, because this will benefit both of us. You will not waste your time, and I will not receive duplicates. Thanks once more!

    The universal function and duty of mountains is of such grandeur and wisdom as to stupefy the intelligence. The mountains emerge from the earth by the command of their Sustainer, thereby palliating the turmoil, anger, and rancour that arise from disturbances within the earth. As the mountains surge upward, the earth begins to breathe; it is delivered from harmful tremors and upheavals, and its tranquillity as it pursues its duty of rotation is no longer disturbed. In the same way that masts are planted in ships to protect them from turbulence and preserve their balance, so too mountains are set up on the deck of the ship that is the earth, as masts and stores.
    Then, too, there are stored up and preserved in the mountains all kinds of springs, waters, minerals and other materials needed by animate beings, in so wise, skilful, generous and foreseeing a fashion that they prove that they are the storehouses and warehouses and servants of One possessing infinite power, One possessing infinite wisdom.
    Can we explain these benefits by deaf and blind nature,causes,evolution ?

    Id like to know what the big secret is. I want to know whats in my eye products before I purchase them on line. So whats the big secret. Why cant they list the ingreadients? Ive tried to find them on every major cosmetic supplier. Like Smashboxes Off Set Eyeshadow Convertor, Bare Escentuals Weather Everything Liner Sealer, Benefit’s She-Laq Waterproof Sealer, Mac Cosmetics, And even a few off brands like Pixi Eye Colour Sealer And a few others. Now im sure some of you are asking what this product does. It allows you to take any cake shadow or loose mineral shadow and turn it into a liner. It also allows you to make water color shadows. It also seals the cosmetics so there water proof. Theres also no creasing or caking im told. Id love to try them but there costly and with eye allergies im not spending money on something without knowing whats in it. So whats the big secret? Why cant they all list the ingreadiants and let us pick the one with less harse chemicals if we choice too.
