6.99999999999999999 is just about 10 times more basic than 6. I think not.

I am having trouble articulating why I feel that a ph of 6 is not 10 times that of 7, which is neutral, despite the great info that has been served up.

That is the point of my question. 6 cannot be 10 times more acidic than 7, as 7 is neither acidic nor is it basic. at pH of 7 the conc.of hydrogen+ ions and OH- ions are about the same. That’s neutral. It’s all about having more of one or the other. It’s not 0 at 7 for any concentration.

LOL. Trapping is slow right now.

I am tired of eating fish, yet I still go fishing. Fish eating advisory here is once a week , not at all for pregnant women. I wonder how much mercury is in my system . Maybe you can get a part time job as a thermometer or air pressure gauge To your original question The term Neutral does not mean zero. It means an equilibrium. Say for a riven volume you have as many black as you have white ( crap this sounds racist ) Apples and oranges then. You have 50 apples and 50 oranges in the bucket at 7 At 6 you have 100 apples to 50 oranges. Ignore the fact that both apples and oranges have acid in them. Instead of the apples you can throw bars of soap into the bucket to make it look more realistic. Well ya know what I mean

thats a really good analogy scuba here's a pic i found that relays that, I hope pH shows the concentration of hydrogen ions (OH- or H+) at a ph of 5, there is a H+ concentration of 10^-5 moles = 0.00001 the -log(10^-5) = 5......5 is a whole lot easier to write than -log(10^-5) (which is almost impossible to type) at a pH of 4 - the H+ concentration of 10^-4 = .0001 the -log(10^-4) = 4 there is a 10x difference between .0001 and .00001 which just so happens to be a difference of the -log function....of 1

LOL I got won even better . How can it be below zero. How can you not have a temp reading. Zero is none. If you are measuring in Kelvin you don't have to worry about it because we would all dead anyway long before it reaches zero! What I wan't to know if if 0 Kelvin is absolute zero, what is the hottest something can get?

Don't think of it being "ten times more acidic". The level between what we call acid and what we call alkaline is numerically arbitrary, it just uses the value of pure water. It's only our naming system that uses water as the border line. If we used a light acid like boric acid (pH = 5.2)as the border line, we would consider water a base. The 10X factor is only used to translate a complex number into a simple one, where really just measuring the H-ion content.

I am sure that Hurley is pretty basic.
