:checkered_flag: Acids
the over pH scale goes from 0 to 14. An acid has the pH of 0 to 6 . The lower the number the more acidic it gets
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+ ions) in water. This reaction can only take place in water. When they are in a solution the concentration of hydrogen ions increase. Therefore the water gets more acidic; the pH decreases
:checkered_flag: Alkalis
The pH of an alkali is above 7. This is because a neutral substance has the pH . The higher the number, the more alkaline the substance is..
When reacting with water hydroxide ions (OH- ions) are formed. This reaction can only take place in water. When the solution concentration of hydroxide ions increases, so does the pH; the water gets more alkaline
