A comprehensive guide to understanding pH scale and acidity, exploring acids, bases, and their interactions in chemical solutions.
- The pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration, with values below 7 indicating acidity and above 7 indicating alkalinity
- Chemical reactions in neutralisation process involve acids reacting with bases to form salts and water
- Solutions conduct electricity through free-moving ions, with both acidic and alkaline solutions being conductive
- Accurate titration techniques for acids and bases are essential for measuring precise volumes and determining unknown concentrations
- Spectator ions remain unchanged during chemical reactions and are present on both sides of ionic equations
