Well in terms of alkali strength: Extremely low. In terms of acidic strength: Extremely high. Basically 0 is very corrosive and aggressive and I advise you not to touch anything with a scale of pH 0 ;-). also it is technically impossible with what scientists know now to have a pH level of 0

Is zero considered to be neutral on a PH scale?

Zero is not considered neutral on the pH scale. The neutral point on the pH scale is 7, which represents a balance between acidity and alkalinity. A pH of 0 is highly acidic, while a pH of 14 is highly alkaline.


What scale of zero to 14?

The scale of zero to 14 is typically used to measure pH levels, with zero representing highly acidic solutions, seven representing neutral solutions, and 14 representing highly basic solutions.


Is pH 7 a high pH?

no 7 is not a high PH. the Ph scale is out of 14 meaning 7 is neutral :)


What Does high pH mean on a pH scale?

A pH over 7 is basic.

Does oil have a pH?

No. The pH scale is a measure of acid in aqueous solutions, meaning that the solution needs to be mostly water. Since oil has nearly zero water, the pH scale is irrelevant.

Can an aqueous solution have a pH of zero?

No. pH is a log scale. You can't have a pH of zero. ---- Above answer left in to correct a misconception. Yes, you certainly can have a pH of zero. A 1 molar solution of a strong acid has a pH of zero, and stock HCl (roughly 12 molar) has a pH of about -1.1 or so. pH is the negative log of the hydrogen/hydronium ion concentration, which for a strong acid is approximately the same as the acid concentration. The log of 1 is zero, therefore the pH of a 1 molar solution of a strong acid is zero. The log of 10 is 1, therefore the pH of a 10 molar solution of a strong acid is -1.


Is a scale that measures the acidity or basicity of a solution along a range of zero to 14?

The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, while lower values indicate acidity and higher values indicate basicity. The scale is logarithmic, so each unit change represents a tenfold difference in acidity or basicity.


What number on the pH scale indicates the strongest acid solution?

The pH scale does not indicate the strength of the acid, so there is no number on the pH scale that indicates the strongest acid. A pH value of zero will be the most concentrated strong acid, but even that isn't exactly correct. Concentrations greater than 1 M have pH values <0, but are not useful values because of intermolecular interactions and activity values.


Why is zero the lowest number on the pH scale?

Well...zero isn't really the lowest number on the pH scale. To simplify things, we teach kids that the scale goes from 0-14, but in reality, a solution can have a negative pH. The pH is the negative log of the hydrogen concentration or -log[H+]. So for -log[H+] to be negative, log[H+] has to be positive; therefore, [H+] would have to be greater than one. A solution that has a negative pH is extremely acidic! For example, a solution with a hydrogen concentration of 2.2 M would have a pH of -log[2.2] = -0.342 The reason we use 0-14 in abstraction is because pH + pOH = 14
