Suspension
Indicates concentration of H+ ions in solution
Ph scale
At ph, the concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions is ___
Equal
What does OH stand for
Hydroxide
Solution with a ph below 7 because they have more H+ ions than OH-
Acid
Solution with a ph above 7 because they have more OH- ions than H+
Basic

Buffer
Contains higher concentration of H+ ions than pure water; ph below 7
Acidic Solution
Contains lower concentration of H+ ions than pure water; ph values are above 7
