Two of the characteristics of pH are:

It is higher for alkalis than for acids.

It varies logarithmically with molar hydrogen ion concentration, so that a solution with pH 5 contains ten times as high a molar hydrogen ion concentration as does a solution with pH 6.

Does drip coffee have more acid than perculated coffee?

Coffee is PH neutral. The acidic quality is a flavor characteristic, not an actual acid ph quality.


How can you tell that vinegar is an acid?

Do a pH test on it. You can also taste it - and see that it is sour, which is characteristic of acids.


Does a phenolphthalein indicator remain clear in an acid?

It does turn orange at exceptionally low pH (below 0), but that corresponds to a fairly high (greater than 1 molar) concentration of a strong acid. Between pH 0 and pH 8 or so it's colorless, so it's not particularly useful as an indicator for most acids. Somewhere between pH 8 and pH 10 it begins to turn a characteristic pink color. Above pH 12 the color fades again.


How do the characteristic of bases differ form those of acids?

Bases tend to recieve an H+ ion in a titration, and acids tend to give an H+ ion in a titration. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and acids have a pH less than 7.

Do base have a pH below 7?

False. Acids have a pH from 0-7, 7 is neutral, and bases are 7-14. Characteristic ions for acids and bases are H+ and OH-. The more H+ present, the more acidic. The more OH- present, the more basic.


Is pH scale a measure of acid and bases?

yes. pH scales use the numbers 1-14 a pH scale of 1 being strongly acidic and a pH scale of 14 being strongly basic. a pH scale of 7 is neutral. so the pH levels of 1-6 are the acids and 8-14 are the basics.
