What chemically does the pH scale measure?
all acids and bases. to the right at bases to the left are acids
What is the pH scale in terms of acids and bases?
it is a scale that measures liquid
Describe in detail the pH scale for acids and bases?
the pH scale goes from 0 to 14. 0-3 is strong acid (eg. hydrochloric acid), 4-6 is not strong acid. 7 is neutral, eg. water. 8-10 is not strong alkali (base) and 11-14 is strong alkali (eg.sodium hydroxide)
How do you calculate the pH or ion concentrations for acids and bases?
By the use of pH scale.
Acids and bases near the ends of the pH scale are very?
Acidic or basic

What does PH scale describes?
The PH scale is the measurement of acids and bases. 8 and up are bases. 6 and lower are acids. 7 is neutral.

What is pH scale how it is used?
a pH scale is something used for measuring the strengths of acids and bases.
How do scientists measure the strength of acids and bases?
they use the pH scale

How are acids and bases described in the pH scale?
Acids and bases are described in the pH scale based on their strength. For instance,lactic acid has pH 6,but curd,obtained from milk itself has pH 3! HCl is called as the "king of acids" with pH 1. {on the pH scale,if any substance has pH 7, its considered acidic, while anything above 7 is basic.} Acids or Bases can be considered as acidic or basic by the colour changes in the pH scale{eg:red to orange[neutral]to violet}.
What 2 numbers on the pH scale are the strongest bases?
The pH scale goes from 1-14. The strongest bases will be at 12 and 13 and the strongest acids will be at 1-2.
What is the scale called that measures the strength of acids and bases?
This scale is called the pH scale. Some say this stands for " the power if the hydrogen ", or " the power of hydronium. "
What is the differentiate between acids and bases?
An acid is below 7 on the pH scale and bases are above 7 on the pH scale. An acid can be a hydrogen donor, and a base is a hydrogen acceptor.
