What difference in acidity is indicated by a pH of 6 versus a pH of 7?
Acidity
A measure of the ability of a solution to donate hydrogen ions (H+) and thereby lower its pH.
pH
A scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, with values ranging typically from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic).
- Explain how acids and bases impact indicators like pH levels.
- Evaluate the hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) given pH values and vice versa.
