The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The numerical value of this scale is the negative base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
pH is minus of logarithm of concentration of hydronium ion
pH <7 acid
pH > 7 base
Acidity/basicity are determined by the pH measurement.
The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and as such is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution. The letters pH stand for power of hydrogen and numerical value for pH is just the negative of the power of 10 of the molar concentration of H+ ions.
The acidity/basicity is measured with a pH-meter; a pH under 7 is acid and a pH over 7 is basic.
no! it is both the measurement of the substance's acidity and basicity.
pH runs on a scale from 0 to 14. The higher the number, the more basic or alkaline a solution is. The lower the number, the more acidic it is. The pH number is a logarithmic scale that relates to the number of free hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution.
pH is a scale used to measure acidity or basicity.
acidity or basicity of a solution
Basicity is the opposite property of acidity. It can be calculated by using a litmus paper and a pH scale.
Indicator is a chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually.
The acidity or basicity are expressed by pH (the negative logarithm of the activity of hydronium ion).
The pH is a measure of the acidity/basicity of a solution.
