The pH scale - pH stands for percent-Hydrogen; indicating that the scale tests the concentration of free hydrogen bonds in a known solution. The higher the concentration of hydrogen bonds, the more acidic a solution; the lower the concentration of hydrogen bonds, the more alkaline or basic a solution. The scale ranges from 0-14, with 0 being the most acidic solution and 14 being the most alkaline (basic). A pH reading of 7 is a neutral substance - it is neither acidic nor basic. The pH is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution

Can buffer concentration be measured on pH scale?

Buffer concentration cannot be directly measured on the pH scale. Buffer concentration is typically quantified by the molarity of the weak acid and its conjugate base in a solution. The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution based on the concentration of H+ ions. Buffers help resist changes in pH by absorbing or releasing H+ ions.

What is acidity and alkalinity in H30 and OH?

In aqueous solutions, acidity refers to the concentration of H3O+ ions, which are formed when water molecules accept a proton (H+). Alkalinity refers to the concentration of OH- ions, which are formed when water molecules donate a proton. Acidity and alkalinity are measured on the pH scale, with pH values below 7 indicating acidity and values above 7 indicating alkalinity.
