pH of Some Common Acid and Base
The pH value of acid and base varies with change in concentration. Hence, under the standard conditions: i.e. 25°C, and 1 atmospheric pressure, the pH value of some common acids and bases at 1 mMol/L, 10 mMol/L, and 100 mMol/L is given below:

pH of Acid and Base
pH stands for Potential of Hydrogen, which simply means the power of hydrogen in a compound. pH value helps determine the nature of the solution. It helps to define the acidity and basicity of a solution. pH value should be balanced for the proper well-being of the environment and living organisms.
This article will cover information about the pH of acid and base, the pH scale, the calculation of pH value and the importance of pH.
