what is meant by pH? Explain in brief
Answers
Answer:
In chemistry, pH (/piːˈeɪtʃ/, denoting 'potential of hydrogen' or 'power of hydrogen') is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. ... At 25 °C, solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic.
Answer:
pH {potential hydrogen means power of hydrogen}
pH is used to measure the strength of the acids and bases. The range of pH is from zero to 14
• pH of neutral solution is 7
• pH of acidic solutions are below 7
• pH of basic solutions are above 7
• Strong acids have very low pH and strong bases have very high pH
• The strength of acids depends on the number of H+ ions. Higher the concentration of H+ ions, stronger will be the acid.
• The strength of base depends on the number of OH- ions produced by the base. Higher the concentration of OH- ions, stronger the base will be.
• Very strong bases are called Alkalies.
