Solids don't have a pH value because there are no free H+ ions 'in it'.

Free H+ ions (protons) can only exist in polar solvents, actually mostly in water, formed by so called protolyse of an acid.

HA (= acid) --> H+ + A- (= base part of that acid)

Why don't solids have a pH?

Solids do not have a pH because pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. Since solids are not in solution, they do not have free hydrogen ions to measure pH. pH can only be measured in aqueous solutions.

What is a substance with a pH of 6?

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.


What happens to the pH of a acid when it is neurtralised?

The pH of an acid will increase and it will be 7 or close to 7. pH= 7 is considered neutral and a pH under 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is alkaline.


PH of less than 7 acids bases both or neither?

A pH of 7 is neutral. pH<7= acidic; pH>7=basic
