What is pH and How Does It Work?

Understanding Acidic and Basic Substances

The concept of pH is introduced, explaining that it measures how acidic or basic a substance is on a scale from 0 to 14.

A pH of 7 indicates neutrality; values below 7 are considered acidic, while those above are basic.

Each whole number decrease in pH represents a tenfold increase in acidity. For example, a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5.

Conversely, each whole number increase above 7 signifies increasing basicity; thus, the relationship between pH values is exponential.

Highly reactive substances are defined as those that are either very acidic or very basic, indicating their potential for chemical reactions when mixed with other substances.
