pH scale • This scale is used to tell the concentration of H+ ions versus OH- ions • Things that are neutral are a 7 acids are below 7 and bases are above
pH scale • As you go from pH 7 to pH 8 there are 10 times more OH- ions • Every level of the pH scale represents a ten fold (ten times) increase in the concentration of the H+ or OH- ions
