- pH
- The pH scale is an indication of the hydrogen ion concentration and runs from below 0 to above 14.
- Water is neutral as it dissociates according to the equation 2H₂O (l) ⇌ H⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) producing equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. At any time, only a few water molecules are dissociated into free ions
- Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of H⁺(aq) ions than OH⁻(aq) and have a pH below 7.
- Alkaline solutions have a higher concentration of OH⁻(aq) ions than H⁺(aq) ions and have a pH above 7.
