The PH formula is given as PH=-log(H+). The H+ is thenumber of free ions of hydrogen. A seven PH isconsidered neutral. Discuss what having a low PH and ahigh PH means. What does a 12 PH mean? How about a22 Which is more caustic? Is either a good thing atextremely high or low values? Explain fully as to what aPH means to you and what you use it for.
