an acid is on the left side of the scale. that means the low nubers like 1,2,3. bases are on the right side or high numbers like12,13,14. did you knowthat 14 is the highest number it can go ( that I know of).

∙ 15y agoalkali are usually strong bases such as KOH, NaOH, and LiOH. Therefore if they are bases their pH should be higher than 7.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAll acidic substances have a pH below seven on the pH scale. So, the answer to this question is no; acidic substances do not have a high number on the pH scale.

What is the pH range for an acid?
pH of 7 is neutral. there is no absolute ends to the pH scale, so an acid is anything with a pH rating of less then 7, and a base is anything greater then 7. for all practical purposes, a scale of 1-14 or sometimes 0-14 is used, but it is possible to exceed these constrainsts.
A substance with a pH of 11 is what times more what than a substance with a pH of 8?
A pH of 11 is 1000x more alkaline than a pH of 8. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale. This means that in a pH scale, a change of one whole number represents a tenfold change in the pH. So a pH of 8 is 10x more alkaline than a pH of 7.
If you have a lower pH will you have higher proton concentration?
Yes. The pH scale is an inverse log scale of the [H].
What does a pH indicate?
the pH scale is used to show how acidic or basic a substance is... you usually use red or blue litmus paper, and then using the label that comes with the paper, figure out how acidic or basic it is using the scale on the bottle, and the pH scale.indicates the concentration of H+ ions in a solution
What ions do the pH scale measure?
H is for Hydrogen. p[H] is a messurement for Hydrogen-ion koncentration and pH for the activity to be correct. the p is for the -log called anti-log (log=logarithm) meaning the exponent (number of the potense) of H ions. pH = -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH
Where do you find strong acids on the pH scale?
The acic side is the left side of the scale
Does acid rain increase the pH of streams?
Actually, it decreses the pH, because the pH of acids are towards the low end (0) of the pH scale.
Why does Acid has a low pH and a high proton concentration?
that is the definition of acids
What are Acids numbers?
On the pH scale, acids have a pH of less than 7.
Is the higher pH needing acid or soda?
A high pH signifies a base. Sodas are acids and would have a low pH.
Do bases have a high pH?
No, they have a low PH. Acids have a high PH. But they can both be dangerous at high and low levels so be careful! FUN FACT: Technically, paper is an acid. You write on acid all the time!
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.
Is alkaline increaser the same as PH decreaser?
No - Alkaline is on the high end of the pH scale, acidic is on the low end of the pH scale. Use a pH decreaser to lower the alkaline levels.
What is pH scale how it is used?
a pH scale is something used for measuring the strengths of acids and bases.
What is the pH level for acids?
Anywhere from 0-6.9 on the pH scale
Why is it dangerous to taste acids and bases?
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.
What is the pH scale in terms of acids and bases?
it is a scale that measures liquid
