pH of Life

​How does one compares the strengths of acids or bases?

​pH scale measures the strength of acids according to the concentration of H⁺ ions.

Multiple Choice

A(n) ______ is a substance with a pH less than 7

• Acid

• Alkaline

• Base

• Buffer

Multiple Choice

A(n) _______ is a substance with a pH greater than 7.

• Base

• Acid

• Buffer

• Water

Multiple Choice

What is the only substance with a neutral pH of 7?

• Milk

• Orange Juice

• Water

• Blood

Multiple Choice

On the pH scale higher numbers indicate

• acids

• bases

​Explanation: The [H⁺] is orange juice is
0.00020 M.  Find the pH of orange juice.

• ​Use the equation pH= -log[H⁺].

• Substitute in [H⁺] with 0.00020.

• Solve pH = -log [0.00020] = 3.70
