Acids and Bases
Acids and bases are chemicals. Almost all liquids are
either acids or bases. The type of ions will determine if it is an acid or base.
If the liquid has a lot of hydrogen ions it is an acid. If the liquid has a lot
of hydroxide ions it is a base. Acids and bases are measured in the pH scale. A
pH scale measures from 0 to 14. The pH scale from 0 to 7 are acids where zero is
the strongest acid. The pH scale from 7 to 14 are bases with 14 being the
strongest base. If the liquid has a pH of 7 it is called neutral. A good example
of a neutral base is distilled water. The pH of acids and bases is a scale used to specify the
acidity or the basicity of a solution. acids and bases are the two extremes that
describe a chemical property of chemicals. mixing acids and bases can cancel out
or neutralize their effects.
The Human Body and PH Levels
The pH of cells is 6.8 and the pH of blood is 7.4 both
are very close to being neutral. The environment of your stomach is highly
acidic with the pH of one or two. how can stomach cells survive in such an
acidic environment? The answer is they can't! new stomach cells are being
produced constantly to replace the dead ones which are digested by the stomach
acids. The lining of a human stomach is completely replaced every 7 to 10
days. Seawater has a pH of 8.0 it is not quite neutral but marine organisms have
adapted to the saline environment and are able to thrive.
