A pH value of 5 indicates that the substance is slightly acidic. This pH level suggests that the substance has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than a neutral substance (pH 7) but lower than stronger acids. Examples of substances with a pH of 5 include coffee and tomatoes.
The pH value of alkali substances is typically above 7, indicating that they are basic. Alkalis have a pH value greater than 7 but less than 14. Examples of alkalis include ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide.
A strong base would have a pH value ranging from 10 to 14. Examples of strong bases include sodium hydroxide (pH 12-14) and potassium hydroxide (pH 12-14).
A pH meter or pH test strips can be used to measure the pH value of a solution. pH meters provide a numerical value of the pH, while pH test strips change color based on the pH level of the solution, allowing for an approximation of the pH value.
The strongest base on the pH scale is typically around 14. This means that a strong base would have a pH value of 14. Examples of strong bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
