Acidity, pH, and
Indicators
At this point, you should be familiar with the general properties of acids and bases.
At this point, you should be familiar with the general properties of acids and bases. If not, make sure you review them at this time.
pH of Acidic, Basic, and Neutral
Solutions
The degree of acidity,
The degree of acidity, or how acidic a solution is,
The degree of acidity, or how acidic a solution is, is often represented by a quantity called pH.
The degree of acidity, or how acidic a solution is, is often represented by a quantity called pH. “pH” has a small “p” and a capital “H”.pH is just a number,
The degree of acidity, or how acidic a solution is, is often represented by a quantity called pH. “pH” has a small “p” and a capital “H”.pH is just a number, there is no unit for it.
You should know what the general range in pH is for acidic solutions,
You should know what the general range in pH is for acidic solutions, basic solutions,
You should know what the general range in pH is for acidic solutions, basic solutions, and neutral solutions.

A More Detailed Look at pH
Like the Richter Scale used for comparing strength’s of earthquakes, the pH scale is a logarithmic scale.
All you are required to know about this here, is that a change of one whole number in pH value represents a ten-fold change in acidity.

A solution with a pH of 3 is 10 times more
acidic than a solution with a pH

pHIndicators
A pH indicator is a substance that changes colour when a certain change in pH occurs.
A pH indicator is a substance that changes colour when a certain change in pH occurs.For example, litmus is a familiar indicator.
A pH indicator is a substance that changes colour when a certain change in pH occurs.For example, litmus is a familiar indicator.Paper soaked in litmus is called litmus paper and it is used to test substances to see if they are acidic, basic, or neutral.
