No, acids have a smaller pH than water. It is usually <6 and pure water has a pH of 7.

What has a pH higher than 7?

acids


Do strong acids have a higher or lower pH than weak acids?

Strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids. This is because strong acids completely dissociate in water to release all their hydrogen ions, resulting in a high concentration of H+ ions and a lower pH. Weak acids only partially dissociate, leading to a lower concentration of H+ ions and a higher pH.


Do strong acids always have a lower pH than weak acids?

Yes, strong acids dissociate more completely in water, leading to a higher concentration of H+ ions and a lower pH compared to weak acids which don't fully dissociate.


Do both acids and bases have a pH higher than 7?

yes because acids are corrosive


How are acids and bases different and how do their pH values differ?

Acids release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, lower the pH, and have a pH value less than 7. Bases accept hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, increase the pH, and have a pH value higher than 7. Acids and bases neutralize each other to form water and a salt in a chemical reaction called neutralization.


How can you tell acids from bases?

Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.


Do alkalis have a pH less than 7?

no they alkaline solutions have a pH higher than 7


Are weak acids on the pH scale less than 3?

Weak acids typically have a pH greater than 3. A pH of 3 or lower is generally associated with strong acids, which fully dissociate in solution. Weak acids only partially dissociate, resulting in a higher pH compared to strong acids. Therefore, while weak acids can have a pH below 7, they usually do not reach values as low as 3.


Is acid rain has a higher than normal pH?

Neutral pH is 7. pH is minus the log of the hydrogen ion concentration. And hydrogen ions are delivered by acids (definition of an acid) and suppress the concentration of OH ions. So acid rain has a pH of less than ("normal") 7.


What is the relationship between pH and acids and bases?

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, with lower pH values indicating higher acidity and higher pH values indicating higher alkalinity. Acids have pH values below 7, while bases have pH values above 7. Acids release hydrogen ions in water, lowering pH, while bases release hydroxide ions, raising pH.


What is true about bases on the pH scale?

Bases have values higher than 7 Substances with a pH of 7 are neutral Acids have a pH below 7


Does a base have a pH of greater or less than 7?

no acids are higher than seven and bases are lower than seven
