Solution

pH scale:
The pH scale shows a substance's acidity or basicity.
The pH scale has numbers 0 through 14.
Seven is the neutral pH.
Acidic conditions have a pH under 7.
More than 7 pH is considered basic.
Pure water has no charge.
However, when chemicals and water are combined, the result might either be acidic or basic.
The strong effects of mixing acids and bases can be canceled out or neutralized. Human cell pH (6.8) and blood pH (7.4) are both quite near neutral.
The solutions with pH values between 7 and 14 are basic in nature.

The solutions which show a pH in the range 7 to 14 are _________ in nature.

Which of the following shows a pH range for an alkaline solution?

According to Arrhenius theory, acids and bases release H+ ions and OH- ions respectively in aqueous solution. However, their relative strengths are expressed in terms of pH value which is mathematically negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration. Infact, there is a scale known as pH scale which ranges from zero to 14. Solution with pH equal to 7 is regarded as neutral solution. Solution with pH less than 7 is acidic while the one with pH more than 7 is regarded as basic. It may be noted that more acidic is a solution, lesser will be its pH . The more alkaline is a solution, higher will be its pH value. Can we prepare a solution with a pH of more than 14?
