What is a base?

 An acid is a liquid that has a Hydrogen H atom that can react.

For example: 

  • Nitric acid              HNO3
  • Sulfuric acid           H2SO4
  • Hydrocloric acid     HCI                  

A base is the oppisite of an acid and has a OH (hydroxcide) that can react

meassage in a bottle

 here is my story i wrote As Jonah Mitchell rides the waves on the beach he sees a sparkle in the water. He gets distracted by it and doesn't see a big wave and he gets washed up back to the sand but he cant find his board anywhere he goes back to the ocean and tries to find but instead he sees the shiny object that distracted it he saw it was a bottle that had a note in it he grabs it and goes back to shore he forget about his board and just goes home. 

When he goes home he decides to open the bottle and read the note. It took him awhile to take off the lid but he did it in the end he was able to do it he reads the note and it says this note is from isaac newton and it 1660 i have been doing a bunch of experiments with sunlight and i have made light in a bit of glass and it also hangs on the ceiling i hope when someone finds this it will be when everybody uses my lights. It is 1665 now and this is my theory about gravity yesterday a apple fell on my head and that made me think of a thing that I call gravity. I am hoping someone will find this in the future and so they can know I invented gravity when people don't need to ride horses to get around from place to place. 


Jonah is shocked by this and takes it to people that are masters in this stuff and when he gets there they are amazed of his discovery and it is all true and now they know exactly when he invented they say to him he should put it in a museum and he does and the museum employes don't believe him and they tell him to get out he sadly sighs and walks out of the museum he then goes to the beach and pulls the bottle out and throws it in the ocean never to be seen again. 


10 years later jonah is walking on the tongan beach then jonah's son Frank finds a bottle with a note inside he says to his mum Ramona and his dad jonah and they come over to him and frank says i found a bottle with a note inside jonah says give to me i will check it out frank passes it over and jonah pulls the note out and is amazed that it is the same bottle that he found when he was 22 jonah told his family and they said that he should try put it in the museum again he says ok and goes to the tongan museum and gives it to them and they do believe him because it's not the same museum he gets 50k and this time he walks out happy.
