3. Nail Polish Remover- Base or Acid?<b>I looked up the MSDS for acetone and it is listed as 7 which would be neutral.</b>
4. Coca Cola Pop- Acid, right?
5. Cream of Tarter- Acid, right?
6. Calamine Lotion- Base or Acid?<b>This is a mixture of ZnO and Fe2O3 but no listing of the solvent. MSDS doesn't list the pH. If some of the ZnO dissolves in water, it would be slightly basic.</b>
