Though this mistake is commonly repeated in text books, I believe that there are no such bounds on pH form 0-14. For example, direct application of the definition of pH (-log10(conc[H+])) shows that the pH of standard 10M nitric acid is -1. This is true of any 10M strong acid, because strong acids are fully ionized in water. Similar reasoning with strong bases reveals that pH can be above 14 (and thus pOH is less than zero).Perhaps this misunderstanding about pH results from the fact that no common pH indicators can read below 0 or beyond 14. another example: HCL with a concentration of 12.93mol/dm3 has apH value of -1.1. In the same way a very highly concentrated alkaline solution could also have a pH maore than 14.

What would be the pH of a basic solution?
The pH of a basic solution is greater than 7. Basic solutions have a pH between 7.1 and 14. A pH value above 7 indicates a solution is basic or alkaline.
Why pH range is between 1-14?
The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than pH 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
Do bases have a pH of more than 7?
Yes, bases have a pH greater than 7. They typically have pH values higher than 7 up to 14, indicating their alkaline nature.
Is A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4?
Yes, a solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating higher acidity and higher values indicating higher alkalinity. A pH of 5.2 is closer to the acidic end of the scale compared to a pH of 7.4.
How does pH 2 compare to pH 6?
it is ten thousand times more basic than pH 7
Why never pH is less than zero and more than 14?
Values of pH under 0 and over 14 are possible.
The strong alkali has a pH of 14?
Yes. It may even have more than 14.
Why pH range is in between 0-14 and not more than that?
There were 14 pH brothers that developed the method of testing acidity in 1809
What pH values indicates a solution with the highest concentration of hydrogen ions pH equals 1 or pH equals 2 or Ph equals 7or pH equals 14?
pH = 14 is basic pH = 7 is neutral pH - 1 and 2 are acidic; pH = 1 is more acidic than pH = 2 Therefore a solution at pH 1 has higher concentration of H+ than at pH 14
What would be the pH of a basic solution?
The pH of a basic solution is greater than 7. Basic solutions have a pH between 7.1 and 14. A pH value above 7 indicates a solution is basic or alkaline.
Why pH range is between 1-14?

For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
Why pH fall in between 0-14?
PH can be less than 0 and it can be more than 14. PH is -log of (H ) concentration. According to this the PH Of 1 M strong acid such as Hcl would be 0. similarly ... 10 M = pH -1 0.1 M = pH 1 0.01M = PH 2 0.001M = PH 3 0.0001M = PH 4 The pH scale is between 0-14 because the solution with which we generally encounter is in 0-14 range.
Do bases have a pH of more than 7?
Yes, bases have a pH greater than 7. They typically have pH values higher than 7 up to 14, indicating their alkaline nature.
Is a pH of 8 more basic or less than a pH of 6?
Oh, dude, a pH of 8 is definitely more basic than a pH of 6. It's like comparing a chill day at the beach to accidentally eating a spicy pepper. pH scale goes from 0 to 14, so 8 is closer to neutral (7) than 6, which is getting a bit acidic.
Can there be a negative pH?
No. pH is scaled from 0-14. there is nothing higher than 14, and nothing lower than 0.
Is A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4?
Yes, a solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower values indicating higher acidity and higher values indicating higher alkalinity. A pH of 5.2 is closer to the acidic end of the scale compared to a pH of 7.4.
What is more acidic a pH of 2 or 3?
pH 2. The lower the number is the more acidic it is. pH 7 is neutral, pH 14 is least acidic. 5.4 is considered acid rain.
