1 General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.1 The pH Scale

2 General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.2 pH Scale The pH of a solution  is used to indicate the acidity of a solution  has values that usually range from 0 to 14  is acidic when the values are less than 7  is neutral with a pH of 7  is basic when the values are greater than 7
