There is inadequate research/information on molds and how they are affected by acids. There is insufficient information on eliminating or preventing mold on household and consumer items. To test possible solutions, mold growth will be examined using different acids to help keep the mold at a low amount. Two different substances, one with high acidity and one with low acidity, will be used together with water as our “mold repellents”. At the end of each test, the ability of each acid to prevent mold growth will be documented. Conducting this experiment will benefit the scientific world because it searches for a problem that has not been completely solved. Perhaps a way to prevent mold growth can be developed with further study. This experiment will serve as the beginning of what could become a great discovery. The results of this experiment will be useful to scientists and could serve as a basic concept for mold prevention and influence further experimentation. Each acid has a different strength. The strength of each acid determines its position in terms of acidity. Generally, acids with a higher acidity can disintegrate more matter than an acid with a lower acidity. In this experiment, the acid's ability to stop mold growth will be tested. The more acidic an acid, the more likely it is to have a destructive effect on objects and matter. This is why the stronger acid is expected to keep mold growth to a minimum. The weaker acid is expected to prevent only some mold growth. The control group, which will be treated with water, is not expected to control mold growth. Molds typically grow in warm, humid environments. They c...... middle of paper......Health topics.
