Q

What is PH, what is the PH scale, and what is it measured as?

A

PH stands for potential hydrogen and measures the acidity from 1 to 14. The lower the number, the higher the acidity, and the higher the number, the more basic it is.

Q

What is acid rain?

A

Acid rain is a type of rain that majorly damages wildlife. Two common examples of acid rain are nitric and sulfuric acid. Nitric acid comes from nitrogen and oxygen which are used to power up cars in the engine. These nitrogen oxides go in the air and cause nitric acid to form in the rain. Sulfuric acid comes from fossil fuels being burned that have sulfur in them.

18
Q

What are PH indicators?

A

PH indicators can be indicators (litmus, thymolphthalein, and methyl orange), universal indicators, and PH meters

19
Q

What are PH meters?

A

PH meters are devices that used electrodes to measure acidity
