The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14. 1 is extremely acidic, 7 in neutral (pure water), and 14 is extremely basic.

How can you tell acids from bases?
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
How can you visualize the difference between acids and bases?
no but you can tell the difference by taste
What does the order of the bases tell the cells in dna?
The order of the bases determines the order of amino acids in a protein.
How do you tell acids and bases apart according to Arrhenius?
Acids were compounds with hydrogen that ionized when aqueous to form H+. Bases were compounds that ionized when aqueous to form OH- (hydroxide).
How can you tell how strong acids and alkalis are using the pH scale?
Acids have a pH under 7, alkalis have a pH bigger than 7.
In DNA every three bases is called?
Every three bases is called a condon. These tell you the specific amino acids!
How is the pH scale used to measure strength of acids and bases?
They use a pH meter. The scale is called pH scale, any value below 7 is acidic (the lower, the more acidic) Any value more than 7 is basic(the higher, the more basic) 7 is neutral, like water for example.
What are some common characteristics of a acids and bases?
i got my science book in front of me :). so easy. Acids: Hydrogen ions causes foods to taste sour may burn you dissolve in inorganc acids. Bases: when dissolved in water forms hydroxide ions (OH) hydroxide ions contain hydrogen and oxygen atoms. some bases break up fats and oils. some bases taste bitter. WARNING: to check if its an acid or a base do not taste or touch. im serious u can die get knocked out get burned.
Do acids feel slippery on the skin?
no,because that is a base and don't touch it if you touch it and your hands feels slippery, you may have gotten the base on your hands. You should quickly rinse your hand with large amounts of water and tell your teacher.
Is it false that Indicator paper is used to identify acids and bases?
A pH indicator paper can be used to tell if a solution is acidic or basic and the rough pH range can be known
How can you tell the difference between acids and bases?
Acids most of the time have an H in the beginning of the formula (except for acetic acid.) They also release a H+ ion in water The formula of a Base has an OH in it (except for NH3 Ammonia) They release OH- ions in water.
Can you tell if something is acidic on the pH scale?
The pH scale ranges from acids to alkali's. The strongest acid is red then it gets lighter, (orange, pale, yellow) then it goes to green (neutral) and alkali's are more dark greenish purple colours. Hope this helped. :)
