A student went to the dentist and found out that he had a cavity. He always brushes his teeth twice a day, so he didn't understand how he got a cavity. The dentist told him that drinking things every day that are acidic, such as lemonade, can contribute to cavities. He didn't drink lemonade but does drink a variety of other drinks.

The next day he brought in a sample of each drink and asked his science teacher to borrow a pH probe to test each liquid. The pH of Drink A is 11.9, Drink B is 7.0, Drink C is 5.3, Drink D is 9.8, Drink E is 2.4. Explain which drink (s) the student should avoid if he wants to protect his teeth from further damage.

In your response, be sure to include:

1. an explanation of what pH measures

2. which drinks are acidic, basic, and neutral.

    Ph measures how acidic or basic something is. The lower the number the more acidic it is going to be.

    Drink A is basic, he can drink that

    Drink B is neutral, he can drink that

    Drink C is acidic, he should avoid

    Drink D is basic, he can drink that

    Drink E is acidic, he should avoid
