Usually PH's less than 7 are said to be acidic (acids), while PH's more than 7 are said to be alkaline (alkalies).
An example of an acid would be HCL Hydrochloric acid (with a PH of -1.0) while Cola has a PH of 2.5

When you go down the pH scale you're finding more strongly acidic properties, such as of vinegar, lye, hydrochloric acid, etc.

∙ 10y agoAcids have pHs of less than 7. Depending on the acidity of given substance it can have a higher pH (indicating low acidity and relative neutrality) or a lower pH (indicating strong acidity). Some weaker acids include those present in apples at around 6. Moderate acids include those in Oranges at around 3. Hydrochloric acid has a pH of 1 and can cause chemical burns if it makes contact with your skin.

∙ 8y ago- an acidic solution is defined as a solution with a pH under 7
- acids and acidic salts have a pH under 7
- examples of acidic solutions: hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate, acetic acid as food ingredient etc.

Is pH scale range is less than 0?
The pH scale is between 0 and 14 but a pH under 0 is possible for some strong acids.
What is Battery acid on the pH scale?
Less than 1
What may be the pH of an acid solution?
0-6 and everything less than 7 (grade 7 science)
What does it mean when substances are basic?
Less than 7.0, but never negative. ___________________________________________________________________ Acidic solutions have a pH that is less than 7. This means that the concentration of the H+ ion (or more accurately the H3O+ ion) is greater than 1x10-7M. Since pH is the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion.
What does a pH of 5 indicate?
I hope this answer isn't too vague, but a pH of 5 generally indicates that whatever solution you're measuring is more or less neutral. That is, its between being extremely acidic (pH 0) or extremely basic (pH 14)
Which pH is the acidic?
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
A pH of 3 is?
an acid The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
Difference between pH of 4 and pH of 10?
The pH scale ranges from 0-14 pH. A substance that has a pH of 7 is considered to be "neutral," like pure water. A substance that has a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, and a substance that has a pH greater than 7 is said to be basic. Therefore, the difference between those two pH levels is that the 4 pH substance is more acidic and the 10 pH substance is more basic. The more basic or acidic, the more caustic and/or corrosive the substance will be.
Can pH be greater than 14 or less then 0?
No.
A solution of an acid in water has a pH of 4 which is slightly acidIs this a solution of weak acid?
4 is a moderately weak acid. Taking into account that 0 is the most powerful of acids and that 7 is a neutral substance.
Is pH scale range is less than 0?
The pH scale is between 0 and 14 but a pH under 0 is possible for some strong acids.
What substance has the lowest pH (0)?
the substance sike
Where is bases found on the pH scale?
pH ranges from 0-14, 7 being neutral, under that acid, above base.
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 does the pH levels measure?
Tha acidity or alkalinity of a substance on a scale of 0 to 14. Values less than 7 are acidic. Values greater than 7 are alkaline. 7 is neutral.
The pH scale ranges from what numbers?
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. 0 is Acidic, 7 is neutral, and 14 Alkaline or Basic. ie. pure water is neutral, coke is somewhat Acidic, Ammonia used in house cleaners is Alkaline.
Why never pH is less than zero and more than 14?
Values of pH under 0 and over 14 are possible.
