In the pH scale, anything with a pH less than 7 is acidic, and anything with a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.
pH scale...pH of <7 is considered acidic, >7 is considered alkaline. 7 is neutral like water.
If a substance has a pH of 5, it is said to be weakly acidic.
The pH scale is the widely used universal scale, (which measures the hydrogen ion concentration of solutions) to measure the acidity or alkalinity of chemical solutions. It should be mentioned that the pH value is dependent on the temperature.
The opposite of acidic is alkaline. Alkaline substances have a pH level greater than 7, while acidic substances have a pH level less than 7.
The extremes of the pH scale are 0 (acidic) and 14 (alkaline).
A pH of 7.5 is slightly alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Values below 7 are acidic, while values above 7 are alkaline.
pH<7 -----> Acidic pH=7------> Neutral pH>7------>Basic or Alkaline
Yes, the pH scale can be used to measure the acidity of soil. Soil pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the soil is based on a scale from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating more acidic soil and higher values indicating more alkaline soil. pH testing kits or meters can be used to determine the pH level of soil samples.
Pure water is not neutral it is amphoteric which means with bases(alkaline) it acts as acidic and with acids it acts as basic(alkaline)
The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, with a range from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). For example, a lemon has a pH of around 2, indicating it is acidic, while baking soda has a pH of around 9, showing it is alkaline.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is.A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic.hence a level of 5 is acidic.
It's neutral because on the pH table it's pH 7.
