Is acidic or basic a solution?
You seem to be confused. acidic and basic are not things, they are properties. For example, vinegar is a solution, and it is acidic, because in solution, it dissolves to release hydrogen ions. Basic solutions, such as bleach, either accept hydronium ions in solution, or release hydroxide ions in solution. But all solutions, with the exception of distilled water, is either definatively acidic or basic. Look up a pH meter or a pH scale. The lower the number, the more acidic a solution is. The higher the number is, the more basic a solution is, and if it is 7.0, then it is neutral.
What is the measure of how acidic or basic a solution is?
The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline (basic) a solution is.
How many times more acidic is a solution of pH 1 than a solution having pH 2?
To first answer this question you must know how the PH scale works. Essentially the PH scale is a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic scale unlike a linear scale (you know the scales that go from 1, 2, 3, etc.) works using exponential increments. For the PH scale every time you go one number down the solution the item in question becomes ten times more acidic than the number above. Therefore to ultimately answer your question a solution with a PH of 1 is ten times more acidic than a solution that has a PH of 2.
On the pH scale a solution with a pH of 3 is?
A solution with a pH of 3 will be acidic. Substances with pH's below 7 are termed acidic, those with pH's higher than 7 are termed basic or alkaline.
What does a low number on the pH scale tell us about a solution?
The solution is an acid.
What scale is used to determine whether a solution is an acid or base?
When referring to acidity of a solution one uses the pH scale. The lower the number, the higher the acidity. Pure water is said to be neutral, and is a 7 on the scale. Anything with a lower number ranking is acidic, and anything with a higher ranking is basic.

The solution is an acid.
There are several ways to express the acidity or basicity of a solution Probably the most common means is by using pH How is the numerical value of pH determined and how does its magnitude relate to a?
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.
What shows how acidic or basic solution is?
A ph scale
What is the pH scale for an acidic solution?
Anything below 7 is acidic, the lesser the stronger.
Which direction is acidic on the pH scale?
Less than 7. The lower the pH, the more acidic a solution is.
What system measures the acidic content of a given solution?
pH Scale:
What is calcite on the pH scale?
Calcite does not have a pH. The pH scale determines how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is meaning solution in which the solvent is water.
