The scale used for measuring the acidity or basicity of a solution is known as the pH scale. Typically you will see values ranging from 0 to 14, however it is possible to produce highly acidic solutions with a lower pH or a highly basic solution with a
higher pH. A neutral solution has an equivalent concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions, which has a pH of 7 at 25 °C. A pH less than 7 indicates that a solution is an acid, and a pH greater than / Indicates that a solution is a base.
Click on the image below to explore this simulation, which demonstrates the pH scale. The pH of the solution is related to the H₂O¹ ion concentration by the equation
pH = -log H₂O¹]

In this simulation, allowing you to produce solutions at at 25°C, you should see three modes: Macro, Micro, and Custom. In Macro and Micro, you are provided with a calibrated beaker along…
Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain".
The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 00 to 14.14. Distilled water has pH 7.0,7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.5.0.
The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.435.43 and standard deviations 0.54.0.54.
What proportion of rainy days have rainfall with pH below 5.0?
The calcium concentration of Lake Mary (a lake in New Hampshire) is 4 x 10-4M. Estimate the pH of this lake? Assume that calcium inputs to this lake are exclusively from calcium carbonate weathering
