what is the pH scale? | a scale of pH ranging for 1-14 with 7 in the middle representing water, decrease in number becomes more acidic the more it moves to the left, increase in number means more alkaline the more it moves to the right |
what does a pH of 3 respresent? | acicid |
what does a pH of 12 represent? | alkaline (basic) |
a pH change of 0.3 yeilds what change in H+? | 2 fold |
