an example is baking soda, milk of magnesia, blood.
Acids do not have a pH greater than 7. When the pH is greater than 7, this makes it a base.
Normally term,'PH' of a solution is used determine the strength of an acid which is nothing but the concentration of H+ ion concentration in a solution. ph= -log[H+] concentration.... since its -ve log hence smaller value of PH means it's more strong acid. ph=7 is value of water which is neutral. pH ranging below 7 are acids & above 7 are bases.
pH scale ranges from 0 - 14. It measures the acidity or basicity of a solution. A measurement of 7 is neutral, less than 7 is acidic and a basic is higher than 7. pH is measured based on the concentration of hydroxide and hydrogen (or hydronium) ions in solution. A solution containing hydrogen (H+ ions) or Hydronium ions (H3O - which is made from the reaction of hydrogen ions with water) indicate a pH lower than 7 or an acidic solution. A solution containing hydroxide ions (OH-) creates a basic solution with a pH greater than 7. It is possible to measure a pH that is greater than the bounds of the scale since the calculation for the scale is based on the negative log of the concentration of hydrogen (or hydronium) ions in the solution. pH=-log[H3O] therefore [H3O] = 10^-pH
The pH scale represents the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed in terms of the pH scale. Low pH corresponds to high hydrogen ion concentration and vice versa. A substance that when added to water increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (lowers the pH) is called an acid. A substance that reduces the concentration of hydrogen ions(raises the pH) is called a base. Finally some substances enable solutions to resist pH changes when an acid or base is added. Such substances are called buffers. Buffers are very important in helping organisms maintain a relatively constant pH. The pH scale is a scientific classification of how acidic or basic a substance is. The scale ranges form 0 to 14 -- a pH reading of 7 is neutral in nature , a pH less than 7 is acidic in nature and a pH greater than 7 is basic in nature.
The midpoint of the pH scale is pH 7, which is considered neutral. Substances with a pH lower than 7 are acidic, while substances with a pH higher than 7 are basic.
Bases have values higher than 7 Substances with a pH of 7 are neutral Acids have a pH below 7
Substances with a pH higher than 7 are considered basic or alkaline. An example of a substance with a pH higher than 7 is baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), which typically has a pH of around 8.3 when dissolved in water.
acidic, alkaline higher than 7
A pH less than 7 is called acidic. Substances with a pH less than 7 have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.
The pH scale of alkaline substances typically ranges from 7 to 14. Substances with a pH above 7 are considered alkaline or basic, with higher values indicating stronger alkalinity.
no they alkaline solutions have a pH higher than 7
The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Pure water has a pH of 7, the half-way point of the pH scale. A pH between 0 and 7 indicates that a solution is acidic, and the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. A pH between 7 and 14 indicates that a substance is alkaline, and the higher the pH, the higher the strength of the alkali.
pH of 7 is neutral. higher numbers are alkaline, lower are acidic.
If something has a pH greater than 7, it is considered basic or alkaline. Substances with a pH above 7 have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
Anything with a pH higher than 7 is a base, lower than 7 is acidic.
A substance with a pH greater than 7 is described as basic or alkaline. These substances have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to substances with a pH below 7 (which are acidic).
