The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, ranging from 0 to 14, with values below 7 representing acidity, above 7 representing alkalinity, and 7 representing neutrality.

Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept. In the ...

Watch this video to see how a salt can be produced in the lab by neutralising sulfuric acid with a metal carbonate, in this case copper carbonate. Here are some ways neutralisation is used: Farmers ...

Welcome to science world. Now everyone loves a wee bag of chips, don’t they? Maybe a wee pasty or a battered sausage and if you’ve any sense you’ll cover it in a bit of vinegar. But did you know that ...

The pH of blood refers to how acidic it is. Changes to blood pH can signal underlying medical issues, including metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, and respiratory alkalosis ...

In 1909 Sorenson devised a scale known as pH scale on which the strength of acid solutions as well as basic solutions could be represented by making use of the hydrogen ion concentrations in them. He ...
