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.

Dry hair has no pH. Only aqueous solutions have pH's. When hair is in an aqueous solution it normally has a pH of 4.5 to 5.5


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.

Lithium chloride aqueous solution is neutral. It will not significantly alter the pH of the solution.


What is the pH value of bread?

pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.


What is the pH value of bread powder?

pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.


What is the action of an aqueous solution of borax on litmus?

An aqueous solution of borax will have a slightly basic pH. Litmus is a pH indicator that turns blue in basic solutions and red in acidic solutions. Therefore, when litmus is added to an aqueous solution of borax, it will likely turn blue.


What is the pH value of nitrogen?

Nitrogen gas does not have a pH value because it is not an aqueous solution and does not produce ions in water to measure pH. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, which is not applicable to nitrogen gas.
