Study Notes
Acidity and Basicity
- pH stands for "potential of Hydrogen"
- The pH scale is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution
- The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral (neither acidic nor basic)
Acidic and Basic Solutions
- Acidic solutions have a pH less than 7
- Basic or alkaline solutions have a pH greater than 7
- A lower pH indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (more acidic), while a higher pH indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions (more basic)
