What is an Acid? A chemical substance (typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid) that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, and turns litmus red. What is a base? a compound that releases hydroxyl ions to form a solution with a pH greater than 7, reacts with acids to form salts, and turns red litmus paper blue
how do you tell whether something is acidic or basic? The pH scale is used to indicate how acidic or basic a solution is compared to a neutral substance like water. The pH scale ranges from 0-14: pure water is has a pH value of 7 (the value for neutral substances), acids have pH values less than 7 (down to 0), and bases have pH values greater than 7 (up to 14). The acidic strength of a solution is higher as the pH value is lesser. Likewise, basic strength of a solution is higher as the pH value gets closer to 14. What is PH? PH of a solution is a measure of H ions in the solution. PH of a solution is measured on a scale ranging from 0 -14 Detergent The ph level of detergent ranges from 7.5 to 10.5 depending on the brand of the laundry detergent. Detergent is conductive meaning, the ability to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound.
