Key Points

The pH range of a human body is 7.35 - 7.45.
pH means the potential of Hydrogen.
The pH scale is the scale used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a substance based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in its solution.
pH scale was discovered by Soren Sorensen.
The range of pH scale 0 to 14.
- If pH < 7 then solution is acidic.
- If pH > 7 then solution is basic.
- If pH = 7 then solution is neutral
The strength of acids and bases depends on the number of H+ ions and OH- ions produced, respectively.
When the pH of rainwater is less than 5.6, it is called acid rain.
The pH value of the Milk of Magnesia is 10.5.
