How it works

The **pH** scale measures hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions. **pH 7** is neutral at 25 °C. Lower pH means **more acidic** (higher [H⁺]); higher pH means **more basic**. Colors mimic a **universal indicator** — real lab measurements use calibrated probes or dyes.

Key equations

pH = −log₁₀[H⁺]  ·  pOH = −log₁₀[OH⁻]  ·  pH + pOH ≈ 14
