Chemists devised a measurement system called the pH scale to indicate the concentration of hypotonic ions in solution. Therefore the higher the pH scale gets the more persistant it is.

What does a variable scale look like?
A variable scale uses a set of adjustable accordion-like compasses to compute the distances between points on a map or diagram.
What are some common logarithmic scales?
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
What is the difference between a linear scale and a nonlinear scale?
A linear scale is much more simple to use and provides accurate readings it also works faster than the non-linear scale . This scale does not take much work and has equal divisions. In a linear scale, there is an equal amount between each mark; this is the normal kind of scale that is used in most everyday graphs/charts. In a non-linear scale, the difference between each mark is not the same, for example each mark, although the same distance apart on the paper, represents twice the value of the previous mark. Two examples which are met regularly are logarithmic in nature: pH (acid/alkali scale - eg pH balanced shampoo) and dB (deci-Bel - relative loudness of sounds).
What is bar scale?
A bar scale is like a ruler or measuring tape. It can measure long distances.
What are logarithms used for today?
Here are just a few modern uses for logarithms:The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, Richter Magnitude Scale, and pH scale are all based on logarithms.You see brightness on a logarithmic scale, so as light becomes constantly brighter, it starts having less relative affect on your vision.Musical notes are measured logarithmically, and the frets on a guitar grow closer together as the notes become higher in pitch.Engineering data is sometimes graphed on a logarithmic scale.
How can determined acid and base?
look at the pH scale
What does scale look like?
The pH scale goes from 1-14 and normally is coloured from red to purple. Any chemical with a pH of 1-6(.9) is an acid, and any chemical with a pH of 7(.1)-14 is a base/alkali. A chemical with a pH of 7 is neutral, and this is mostly pure water and ionic salts. An example of an acid would be Hydrochloric acid, and an example of a base would be Sodium Hydroxide
What scale is used to determine pH?
the pH scale
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.
What colour is acid on a PH scale?
The Ph scale does not have colours.
Where is a strawberry on the pH scale?
strawberries are at 3.5 on the pH scale
What is phtwo?
it is science and it means pH scale
What scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions?
The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale
What scale shows how acidic or alkaline asolution is?
pH scale...pH of <7 is considered acidic, >7 is considered alkaline. 7 is neutral like water.
What is the midpoint of the pH scale?
The midpoint of the pH scale is 7.
The scale used to classify the strength of acid and basic solutions?
The pH scale.
What is the scale used to indicate the strength of an acid or base called?
pH Scale
