pH is the measure of acidity and basicity of a substance.
Explanation:
- pH is the measure of the hydrogen or hydroxide ions and determines whether a substance is acidic, basic or neutral.
- This scale consists of numbers from 0 to 14, where 7 is the middle one and is neutral.
- If we move towards the left of 7, the acidity increases. But if we move towards the right of 7, the basicity increases till 14.
- The strong acid solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions, whereas the strong base solution has a high concentration of hydroxide ions.
