Answer 1

Explanation:

The pH scale is used to rank solutions in terms of how acidic or how basic they are. It indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution.

These ion concentrations are equal in pure water, which has a pH of 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

Definition of pH:

• pH ( power of hydrogen) is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is.

As the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution increase, the more acidic the solution becomes. As the level of hydroxide ions increases the more basic, or alkaline, the solution becomes. Thus, as the hydrogen ion concentration increases hydroxide ion concentration falls, and vice versa.
