What number is highest on the pH scale?

The highest number on the pH scale is 14. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14.


Is the base the highest number on a pH scale?

Yes. A base has a pH of greater than 7. An acid has a pH of less than 7.


Can the lowest acid on to pH scale kill you?

Definately


Which acid is the lowest number on the pH scale?

The pH scale does not have an easily defined lowest number. Often, answers of 1 or 0 are given, but not correct. The pH actually goes below zero, so that negative values are possible. In order to measure a pH there must be some water present, so the theoretical lowest pH value would be slightly less than -1.


Is 6 a natural number?

The number 6 is not a natural number on the pH scale if that is what you mean. In fact the number 7 is a natural and neutral number on the pH scale ( on the pH scale number 7 is a green colour.)


What is the highest pH level for a base?

pH can exceed 0 and 14 infinitely. Which means it can be any number from negative infinity to positive infinity (tho it does not exist in real life). So there is no so called highest/lowest pH level.

Why is zero the lowest number on the pH scale?

Well...zero isn't really the lowest number on the pH scale. To simplify things, we teach kids that the scale goes from 0-14, but in reality, a solution can have a negative pH. The pH is the negative log of the hydrogen concentration or -log[H+]. So for -log[H+] to be negative, log[H+] has to be positive; therefore, [H+] would have to be greater than one. A solution that has a negative pH is extremely acidic! For example, a solution with a hydrogen concentration of 2.2 M would have a pH of -log[2.2] = -0.342 The reason we use 0-14 in abstraction is because pH + pOH = 14
