BACKGROUND RESEARCH
We have complied our information through many sources. We have found out acid is used in many products including cleaning products. Sulphuric acid is used in acidic drain cleaners to unblock clogged pipes by dissolving greases and proteins. Some of the most important kinds of chemicals in science are acids and bases. If iron and sulfur are heated together together in a certain ratio, a chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, the compound iron sulfide, with chemical formula. Most of these acid productions tend to be manufactured weak to prevent too strong of an acid but if the percent in the acid rises, the stronger it will become.

HYPOTHESIS
The outcome I expect for our project is the damage the acid does to the materials to be very strong. We also want to see how the chemicals in the preservative foods react to the acids. Our group wants to see how the acid completely dissolve the items we put to the test.

EXPERIMENT
Our procedures as that we had to set up everything in glass hardware. Then we took out our test tubes to put the materials we purchased into the acid. We than went on and got a funnel to make sure the acid gets in the test tube without damaging anything. We successfully put the acid inside the test tube with the materials each tube contained. We needed to use gloves so we wouldn’t burn off our skin. After setting up everything we just needed to wait for the materials to dissolve.

DATA
As we got deeper into our project we saw some affects that the acid did to our materials. After an hour in the acid the results were crazy. The materials had began to dissolve and change colors. When we had put aluminum into the metal test tube section, there was smoke coming out the test tube. After 24 hours the materials were completely disintegrated as we expected in our hypothesis.

CONCLUSION
In the we gathered so much information about something so small. The way we found what’s made in materials nowadays is crazy. What we also learned was that how powerful acids can be, when my group saw how quickly the materials dissolved was shocking. We had many predictions on what was the outcome going to be but we didn’t how the materials colors would change. It was interesting to see the acid to be put to work in certain amount of time.
