Concept Introduction:
A base is defined as the substance that can give
The ionic product of water can be used to calculate the concentration of
Experimentally proved that at
The acidic and basic nature of the solution can be expressed in terms of pH of the solution. The range of pH lies from 0 to 14. The pH value from 0 to 7 indicates an acidic solution whereas the pH value from 7 to 14 stands for a basic solution. A neutral solution can be expressed as pH 7. It can be calculated with the help of concentration
