 * 3) Homogenous solution equals same throughout.
 * 4) Heterogenous is not blended equally.[ex. Chex Mix]
 * 5) pH is the percentage of hydrogen.
 * 6) Substances that release hydrogen ions(H-) when dissolved in water is called acids.
 * 7) Substances that release hydroxide ions(CH-) when dissolved in water is called bases.
 * 8) The measure of concentration of H- in a solution is called pH.
 * 9) Acidic solutions have pH values lower than 7.
 * 10) Basic solutions have a pH value higher than 7.
 * 11) MOst of your body functions require a pH of between 6 and 8 (6.5 - 7.5).
 * 12) Buffers are mixtures that can react with acids or bases to keep the pH within a particular range.
