What+is+pH?

=__What is pH?__= = = ==PH (short for potentiometric hydrogen ion concentration) is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ion concentration; a measure of the alkalinity or acidity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, solutions less than 7 are acidic and solutions greater than 7 are alkaline, also known as basic. Pure water is neutral at 7. Freshwater is commonly acidic and seawater is basic. Chemicals that are very basic or very acidic are called "reactive"; in which they can cause severe burns.==

This is the pH scale
==Dissolved chemicals and minerals change the balance of the ions from a perfect neutral.Increase the amount of hydrogen ions (H+), and the water becomes more acid ("low pH"). Increase the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-), and the water becomes more alkaline ("high pH"). The further these values rise or fall, the more acid or alkaline the water becomes. [|**Cited from**]==
