Question

What is the approximate pH of Amla juice?

Answer 1

pH scale

• A scale for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution is called the pH scale.
• The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen or hydronium ions or concentration.
• The pH of a neutral solution is $7$.
• The pH of an acidic solution is less than $7$ whereas, pH of basic/alkaline solution is greater than $7$.

pH of Amla juice

• Amla contains vitamin C, which has a sour flavor and is so acidic.
• So, the pH of amla juice is less than $7$.
