pH scale is a numerical representation of acidity and basicity of the substances. It varies from 1 to 14. The solutions with a pH value less than 7 are referred to as bases and those with a pH value of 7 are to as neutral.
-pH stands for potenz Hydrogen, pH value indicates whether the substance is acidic, basic of neutral.
- pH less than 7 is acidic
-pH greater than 7 is basic
