our masks and my oldest brother was out of bullets, so we thought. He started to shoot the ground and all that came out of his gun was CO2 (a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom, which makes a gas at standard temperature and pressure).

Red Cabbage Juice; an Accurate or Not So Accurate Indicator for pH Tammy Daniel BIOL2101 9/28/12 Ms. Hunter INTRODUCTION The pH scale is based on the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. The actual concentration of hydrogen ions, [H+], and hydroxyl ions [OH] in moles per liter are indicated for each pH value noted. Acidity and alkalinity can be demonstrated on the pH scale, which ranges from zero to fourteen. Anything less than seven is acidic and anything greater than seven is basic
