Read about acids and bases in a good encylopedia. Define an acid. Ask a question about acidic reactions and find the answer to the question. Support your answer with facts and list the source of those facts. Use the answer to ask at least three more questions. Determine the answers to each of those questions. For each new answer ask at least three new questions and find those answers. For each new answer ask at least three new questions and find those answers.
