the lower the pH the higher the hydrogen so acid 1-6 is higher in hydrogen compared to base 8-14.
7 is neutral

∙ 16y agoAcidic solutions have pH values less than seven, whereas basic ones have pH readings greater than seven. A pH value of 7 is considered neutral. Solutions that are neither very acidic nor very basic have pH values between 2 and 12. Solutions with pH values below 2 are very acidic, and those with pH values above 12 are very basic. Note that the pH scale is not linear; it is logarithmic. A change in pH from 3 to 4 or from 8 to 9 represents a tenfold decrease in acidity (or increase in alkalinity). Hence, going from 3 to 5 represents a 100-fold decrease in acidity.

A basic solution will have a pH greater than 7.
A neutral solution will have a pH equal to 7.

Do strong acids or bases react more easily with materials than do weak acids and bases?
no they act stronger
Is sodium hydroxide a bases or acids?
base
What is a dye that reacts chemically with acids and basis to produce one color in acid and one color in bases?
litmus is a dye obtained from lichens. These dyes react with acids and bases, showing a color change.
True or false Buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sudden changes in pH?
Yes if u add 2 acids or bases or and acid and base together if both contain acids or bases it creates a poisounos gas that can kill or knock you out and will make pH higher. Dont try it though buy pH paper and use on ammonia ammonia is about a 11-12 on pH scale its very powerful. that was extra but yes it can cause sudden change matter what acids or bases you combine it with.
Does aluminium react with acid?
Aluminium is amphoteric which means that it displays some of the properties of both acids and bases, it will react with some bases, such as Sodium Hydroxide and also with some Acids such as concentrated Nitric Acid
How are acids and bases different and how do their pH values differ?

In a water solution how do acids differ from bases?
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+), while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-).
How is acids and base differ from salts?
Salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases.
How do acids and basses differ in a water solution?

How are acids different from bases and salts?
Acids have ions as H+ or (COOH)-.
How do the characteristic of bases differ form those of acids?
Bases tend to recieve an H+ ion in a titration, and acids tend to give an H+ ion in a titration. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and acids have a pH less than 7.
What do acids and bases have together?
They reacting with other.Reactions are different to acids and bases.
How do acids differ from basis?
Acids have a pH level below 7 while bases have a pH above 7. The chemical difference between acids and bases in the hydrogen ion concentration[H+]. Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions while bases have a higher hydroxide ion concentration[OH-]
How do acids and bases differ from salts?
Salts are formed by the reactions between acids and salts; a salt contain an anion from the acid and a cation from the base.
