The enterprise was abandoned. Farther to the left, a portion of the 6th Corps carried the first line of the Confederate entrenchments, and captured 900 prisoners and several guns. Then the first day's real battle at Spotsylvania Courthouse was ended.
Base (mathematics) In mathematics, a base or radix is the number of different digits or combination of digits and letters that a system of counting uses to represent numbers. For example, the most common base used today is the decimal system. Because dec means 10, it uses the 10 digits from 0 to 9.
pH And Pool Water. pH is the term used to refer to the degree of activity of an acid or base (alkali) in the water. It is the most important chemical factor to be maintained in swimming pools. pH is measured on a scale from O to 14 with 7 being neutral. Pool water pH is best when kept in the range of 7.2 to 7.8. A value of 7 to 14 is considered basic with 14 being the greatest base activity. Another word for basic is alkaline; however, this is not to be confused with total alkalinity. pH and total alkalinity are not the same but can be influenced by each other.
