The pH scale goes from 0-14. 7 is when the pH of something becomes neutral, for instance, water. The concentration of hydrogen ions determine the acidity or basicity, so water has a concentration of 1x 10 to the negative seventh power. A pH of 6 is a concentration of 10, and gets 10 times more concentrated as the pH gets decreased by 1. A pH of 8 has the concentration of 1/10, and gets 10 times less concentrated as the pH gets increased by one.

∙ 12y agoThe pH scale is set up to determine the acidity/basicity of a substance. Typically this scale is used from a range of (0-14) although there can be pH that exceed this limitation. In the pH scale, 7 is a neutral value, 7 and above (8-14) is basic, and lower (6-0) is acidic. pH is a scale that identifies how well a substance dissociates( normally in an aqueous solution.) To find a pH can be found through a pH meter, or a dissociation formula. This is -log[H+] to find the pH of a substance through a equilibrium equation.

What scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions?
The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale

The pH of a laxative, is up the but and around the corner. Just playing its 3 degrees.
What is the pH scale of 9?
I don't think there is one. The pH scale only goes up to 7.
What is the pH of Dettol?
The pH of dettol is 4-9 so it takes up most of the pH scale.
