- Some substances, when dissolved in water will give acidic, alkaline or neutral substances.
- The pH scale (0-14) tells you how acidic or alkaline a solution is.
- Acids have a pH under 7, while Alkalines have a pH over 7.
- pH can be measured by using indicators.
- Universal indicator will go more and more red the lower the pH and more and more blue/purple the higher the pH.
