Make a list of 5 acids, bases and/or buffers you find listed on the labels of products found in your home. Share this list of 5 compounds on the discussion board, along with the product name where you found them. Propose reasons as best as you can as to why those acids or bases or buffers are in those products. (You do NOT need to list 5 acids, 5 bases and 5 buffers, just a total of 5 compounds)
