0-14 7=neutral ph less 7 =acidic, more than 7= basic. whole ph value= 10x more acidic then next higher value( 4=10x more than 5 5=100x(10x10) more than 6
a substance that isn't acid or basic= neutral
Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects;
Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals,
ubstance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.
7 is neutral
0 to 14.
pH greater than 7 is basic
pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is
pH less than 7 is acidic,
ach whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.
For example, a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than a pH of 6.
alkaline—another way to say basic
hemicals are mixed with water, t
water is neutral
Chemicals that are very basic or very acidic are called “reactive.”
pH meter acts as a volt meter that measures the electrical potential difference between a pH electrode and a reference electrode and displays the result in terms of the pH value of the solution
pH meter was invented in 1934 by the American chemist Arnold O. Beckman
