Neutralizing Acid...A science fair project question

sbandcb · Feb 23, 2015

My son is putting together his science fair project and wants to research the most effective means of neutralizing an acidic liquid.

He is looking for several "media" options to test. He has decided on two, Oxygenating the water (although he is not sure how yet) and baking soda. Baking soda is pretty tried and true. Are there any other options you would suggest? Calcium?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.

A mock presentation on our stomachs Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and Bicarbonate found in pancreatic juices, which neutralize the stomachs acidic contents would be cool...

Look at the ingredients of tums or rolaids.

The main ingredient in antacids is calcium carbonate...i think the calcium we dose in our aquariums is calcium chloride but I'm not positive

If you can get your hands on some soda ash, we use that at work when we "don't" have acid spills

well calcium carbonite is aragonite sand.
you can use lime as it is calcium hydroxide.
or find ammonia or milk of magnesia.
