pH stands for “potential of hydrogen” and a pH scale ranges from 0-14 where 0 denotes strongly acidic and 14 denotes strongly basic. Have a look at pH Values list of common substances
pH Value
pH Value: In chemistry, historically pH denotes the “potential of hydrogen”, it is a quantitative measurement of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. The pH scale indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solutions. pH scale ranges from 0-14. If the pH scale is less than 7, it means the substance is acidic. If the pH level is 7, it means the substance is neutral, and if the pH scale is more than 7, it denotes the substance is a base. The litmus test is the indicator that determines whether the substance is acid or base. If the litmus turns the blue paper to red, it indicates the substance is acid whereas if the litmus turns the red paper to blue, it indicates the substance is base
pH Values List
As we know pH value is the potential of hydrogen, that is, it measures the function of alkalinity or acidity in substances. As the pH value decreases, the acidity in the substance increases, and as the pH value increases, the basicity of the substance increases. Check out the list of chemical Substances and their pH value below in the table
