In an acid base reaction, yes it does. An acid donates a proton, a base accepts a proton. The less acidic compound will accept the proton, making it the base. Acting as a base does not make it alkaline.
Correct, the acid base reaction itself does not cause bubbling. However, baking soda and vinegar are not the only compounds that react to form CO2 (or another gas) in an acid base reaction.
Looking at the components of ear wax reveal it’s composed of a wide variety of different compounds. It’s been a while since I took o chem, so I’m not up to the task of determining which of these components are or are not capable of producing CO2 (or any other gas) in an acid base reaction with acetic acid. Do you have a source detailing these possible chemical reactions?
ETA: The people in this thread are so eager to shut down misinformation that they are actively spreading misinformation that would be rapidly disproven in any gen chem college course. I’ve learned my lesson on trying to share cool chemistry facts with internet strangers.
OPs doctor recommended it
I’m looking at the full text, can’t find the word buffer anywhere on the page, all I can find is they used 2% acetic acid rather than 5%. Did you mean diluted?
people really trust a rando lemmy comment over the research that is directly in their face, and are ignoring the fact that this was recommended by your doctor lol
Yes! Earwax is slightly acidic (~6.1 pH) while acetic acid is more acidic (5% vinegar is ~2.5 pH) so the earwax acts as a base in this reaction.
ETA: there may be other things it is reacting with as well, like leftover soap, but this is how acid base reactions work. A chemical does not need to be above pH of 7 to act as a base. The more acidic compound will give its extra hydrogen to the less acidic compound.
Shrinking (Apple TV) has so much of this
OH there we go lol
my brain is broken rn apparently, I had to put your birthday into an age calculator to confirm, aren’t you turning 17 in a few months?
OP is 17

where is the humor in this anecdote?
Pink Floyd, at ~7,000 minutes. My dad was in the top 0.05% of listeners globally, with a total of ~154,000 minutes. He was in the top 0.005% of Pink Floyd listeners at ~28,000 minutes.
this is just an ad
OP mentioned they can log in to their lemmy.world account through sync so I assume this is their alt
When asked during a legal deposition about the cars, clothes, watches and furniture, Rinsch claimed that they were props purchased for the set of “Conquest” and that he’d paid for them directly with the production money from Netflix. He changed his tune in a later arbitration case with Netflix, where he claimed that not only was the money contractually his to do with what he pleased, but Netflix owed him more than $14 million in unpaid invoices.
the absolute gall lmao
The devs said this rollout may take up to a week to work out the major issues, then they expect it to resolve. Hopefully your app catches up soon, and the deployment of 0.19 goes well! I don’t have a lemmy.ml account so I can’t check, but the app I use (voyager) says it is ready for the 0.19 update and theoretically shouldn’t break.
lemmy.ml is testing the 0.19 upgrade, it’s expected to break on most apps until the apps update
I don’t understand the point why people like you join lemmy just to spam shit. You’ll get banned soon, bye
The litter I recommended does clump, not sure about crystal litter.
Add on Korra, Asami, and Kuvira from LoK!
