acidic; highly acidic! 7 is neutral, and each number is a log representation of how many H+'s are in a solution. The more H+'s, the more acidic, so you have to think of the scale in reverse (if you're not used to thinking of things in log). So the more below 7 you are, the more acidic.
What else can I help you with?
Do acids have a high or low pH scale?
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).
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.
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.
What is 7 on the pH scale?
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 1) pH of 7 is neutral 2) pH less than 7 is acidic 3) pH greater than 7 is basic So the pH of 8 is basic since it is greater than 7
On what scale is acidity measured?
Acidity is measured on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14. A pH below 7 indicates acidity, with lower numbers representing stronger acids. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, while a pH above 7 indicates alkalinity.
Is zero considered to be neutral on a PH scale?
Zero is not considered neutral on the pH scale. The neutral point on the pH scale is 7, which represents a balance between acidity and alkalinity. A pH of 0 is highly acidic, while a pH of 14 is highly alkaline.
Is a scale that measures the acidity or basicity of a solution along a range of zero to 14.?
pH
What scale of zero to 14?
The scale of zero to 14 is typically used to measure pH levels, with zero representing highly acidic solutions, seven representing neutral solutions, and 14 representing highly basic solutions.
What acid that burns through stuff?
An acid that is at a zero on the ph scale
Does oil have a pH?
No. The pH scale is a measure of acid in aqueous solutions, meaning that the solution needs to be mostly water. Since oil has nearly zero water, the pH scale is irrelevant.
What would happen if you touched a zero on the pH scale?
if you touch it then you will lose touch .
Is zero on a PH scale high?
Well in terms of alkali strength: Extremely low. In terms of acidic strength: Extremely high. Basically 0 is very corrosive and aggressive and I advise you not to touch anything with a scale of pH 0 ;-). also it is technically impossible with what scientists know now to have a pH level of 0
Why is the range of pH 0-14 can pH be below or beyond this range?
Yes. A very strong acid - say 10M HCl would have a pH of -log10 [10] = -1. 1M HCl has a pH of zero. Strengths of acid betwen 1 and 10Molar woul be less than zero pH. However, the scale was designed to be practical and most pHs are indeed 0-14.
Can an aqueous solution have a pH of zero?
No. pH is a log scale. You can't have a pH of zero. ---- Above answer left in to correct a misconception. Yes, you certainly can have a pH of zero. A 1 molar solution of a strong acid has a pH of zero, and stock HCl (roughly 12 molar) has a pH of about -1.1 or so. pH is the negative log of the hydrogen/hydronium ion concentration, which for a strong acid is approximately the same as the acid concentration. The log of 1 is zero, therefore the pH of a 1 molar solution of a strong acid is zero. The log of 10 is 1, therefore the pH of a 10 molar solution of a strong acid is -1.
Is a scale that measures the acidity or basicity of a solution along a range of zero to 14?
The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, while lower values indicate acidity and higher values indicate basicity. The scale is logarithmic, so each unit change represents a tenfold difference in acidity or basicity.
A very strong acid has a pH of nearly....?
Zero.
What number on the pH scale indicates the strongest acid solution?
The pH scale does not indicate the strength of the acid, so there is no number on the pH scale that indicates the strongest acid. A pH value of zero will be the most concentrated strong acid, but even that isn't exactly correct. Concentrations greater than 1 M have pH values <0, but are not useful values because of intermolecular interactions and activity values.
