Usually PH's less than 7 are said to be acidic (acids), while PH's more than 7 are said to be alkaline (alkalies).
An example of an acid would be HCL Hydrochloric acid (with a PH of -1.0) while Cola has a PH of 2.5
The acidity or alkalinity of a substance is called its pH level. pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, ranging from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 considered neutral. A substance with a pH less than 7 is acidic, while a substance with a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.
The pH scale is between 0 and 14 but a pH under 0 is possible for some strong acids.
The pH of an acid is lower than 7 on the pH scale, with stronger acids having pH values closer to 0.
I hope this answer isn't too vague, but a pH of 5 generally indicates that whatever solution you're measuring is more or less neutral. That is, its between being extremely acidic (pH 0) or extremely basic (pH 14)
0-6 and everything less than 7 (grade 7 science)
From pH 6 - pH 0. pH 0 being the most acidic.
The acidity or alkalinity of a substance is called its pH level. pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, ranging from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 considered neutral. A substance with a pH less than 7 is acidic, while a substance with a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.
Acids have a pH below 7. Acids have a pH ranging from 0 to 6.9 on the pH scale, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
The pH of an acid can range from 0 to less than 7. The lower the pH number, the more acidic the substance. Strong acids typically have a pH close to 0, while weaker acids may have a pH closer to 7.
The pH scale is between 0 and 14 but a pH under 0 is possible for some strong acids.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
No.
The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Pure water has a pH of 7, the half-way point of the pH scale. A pH between 0 and 7 indicates that a solution is acidic, and the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. A pH between 7 and 14 indicates that a substance is alkaline, and the higher the pH, the higher the strength of the alkali.
the substance sike
Anything with the exponent less than 7. (A substance with a pH of less than 7 is an acid.) So, 10-1 through 106.99.
The pH scale ranges from 0-14 pH. A substance that has a pH of 7 is considered to be "neutral," like pure water. A substance that has a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, and a substance that has a pH greater than 7 is said to be basic. Therefore, the difference between those two pH levels is that the 4 pH substance is more acidic and the 10 pH substance is more basic. The more basic or acidic, the more caustic and/or corrosive the substance will be.
0 to less than 7.
