Describe the scale used to measure the basicity of a substance. Demonstrate how you could differentiate a weak base from a strong one. (10

pH stands for potential hydrogen. It ranges from 0 to 14, 7 being neutral. The pH of water is 7 i.e. it is neither acidic nor basic. 0 to 7 shows acidic behavior while 7 to 14 shows basic behavior.

Experiment:

Dip the pH paper in the liquid and wait for ten seconds. The pH strip starts to discolor.

For a strong acid the strip will turn red.

For a weak acid the strip will become pale red.

To find the correct pH value we can compare it with the indicator scale present on the pH scale box.
