pH SCALE
pH SCALE
Used to compare the relative acidity (and alkalinity) of solutions.
The value is related to the concentration of H+ions, in solution.

pH SCALE
Despite what some people think, the pH scale is not restricted to
between 0 and 14. It extends beyond those values, but is not as
relevant; e.g. the pH of the dilute HCl and H2SO4 found on the
laboratory shelves is -0.3 and -0.6 respectively.

Weak acids have higher pH values than stronger ones of the same
concentration.
Ethanoic acid CH3COOH has a larger pH than
hydrochloric acid HCl of the same concentration.

Reactions The hydrogen ions produced by acids can be replaced
by other positive ions (metal ions or ammonium ions)
to produce salts. This occurs when dilute acids react
with metals, oxides of metals, hydroxides of metals,
carbonates, hydrogencarbonates and ammonia.

Making salts using alkalis cannot be done by the methods used for
insoluble bases because you cannot tell when all the acid has been
neutralised the excess alkali is soluble.
