0 - 6 Acids
7 Neutral
8 - 14 Bases
acid less 7 and then bases 7to14.
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
Acids have pH values below 7.0. Bases have values above 7.0.
imposible to handling bases and acids
Acids are less than 7, bases are more.
acid less 7 and then bases 7to14.
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
Buffers help maintain homeostasis by neutralizing acids and bases
Acids have pH values below 7.0. Bases have values above 7.0.
These substances are called buffers.
Bases have pH above 7, acids below 7, so the base pH is higher, though the acidity is lower.
imposible to handling bases and acids
Acids are less than 7, bases are more.
1) Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors. Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. 2) Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Lewis bases are electron donors.
The PH scale is the measurement of acids and bases. 8 and up are bases. 6 and lower are acids. 7 is neutral.
Acids and bases can have extreme pH ranges, making it dangerous to taste them. The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is; acids can have a pH of 0-7, while bases range from 7-14. Your mouth is 'neutral', meaning it has a pH of 7. If you put strong acids or bases (pH very low or very high on the scale) in your mouth, where the environment is neutral, the acid or base will harm your mouth. However, some acids such as vinegar and basic foods like watermelon and asparagus are safe to eat, because they are not strong enough to harm your body.
