The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Pure water has a pH of 7, the half-way point of the pH scale. A pH between 0 and 7 indicates that a solution is acidic, and the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. A pH between 7 and 14 indicates that a substance is alkaline, and the higher the pH, the higher the strength of the alkali.
A substance with a pH of 4 has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions compared to a substance with a pH of 5. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each decrease in pH by 1 represents a tenfold increase in hydrogen ion concentration.
A pH of 11 is 1000x more alkaline than a pH of 8. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale. This means that in a pH scale, a change of one whole number represents a tenfold change in the pH. So a pH of 8 is 10x more alkaline than a pH of 7.
The pH value of a substance indicates its acidity or basicity, while the pI value is the pH at which a molecule carries no net charge. The pH affects the solubility and reactivity of a substance, while the pI influences its stability and interactions with other molecules.
An acid base indicator is a substance that changes colour due the PH of the medium in which it is dissolved.
Acidic substances have higher concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) which results in a lower pH value compared to basic (alkaline) substances. A lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of H+ ions, while a higher pH value indicates a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) found in basic substances.

A substance with a pH of 6 is considered slightly acidic. Some examples of substances with a pH of 6 include urine and some fruit juices.
an acid. one example of a pH 6 substance is urine.
Anything with a pH less than 7 is an acid. Anything with a pH greater than 7 is a base. pH = 7 is neutral
A substance with a pH of 2 is 1000 times more acidic than a substance with a pH of 6. This is because each unit change on the pH scale represents a 10-fold change in acidity. So, the difference in pH of 4 units means a 10^4 or 10000-fold difference in acidity.
Acids.
a weak acid
Substances with a pH of 1-6 are acidic in nature. Examples include lemon juice, vinegar, and stomach acid.
- log(1.0 X 10 -8 M)= 8 pH------------ log(1.0 X 10 -6 M)= 6 pH---------The pH lowered in solution 100 times in concentration of H +. From basic, 8 pH, to acidic, 6 pH.
The pH scale ranges from 0-14. From 0-6, the substance is acidic. A value of 7 means the substance is neutral. From 8-14, the substance is basic.
The substance with the highest pH is liquid ammonia, which has a pH of about 11.6.
