Granite State Challenge
QUARTERFINALS
What’s the reaction called when an acid meets a base?
That was one of the only questions neither team could answer in a fast-paced Granite State Challenge quarterfinal, where Nashua South defeated Bedford, 365–250!
It was a tight, high-scoring game with lots of back-and-forth early on. Nashua South pulled ahead thanks to strong buzzer speed and a late run of correct answers to secure the win.
Nashua South now heads to the semifinals, where they will face the winner of the next Quarterfinal game between the Cougars of ConVal High and the Patriots of Profile High, airing on Thursday, April 16 @8:30 pm on NHPBS.
*The name for the reaction that occurs when you mix an acid and a base in the lab is a neutralization reaction.
