Describe the organization of the pH scale, including the locations of acids, bases, and neutral chemicals

What will be an ideal response?


The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Acids are situated below 7 while bases or alkaline substances are found above 7. The more hydrogen ions present in solution, the lower the pH of the chemical. At a pH of 7, a chemical is said to be neutral as equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxide ions are released.
