The term for a measurement of how acidic or basic a solution is "pH." The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with values below 7 indicating acidity, 7 indicating neutrality, and values above 7 indicating alkalinity or basicity. The pH level is crucial in various scientific fields, including chemistry, biology, and environmental science, as it affects chemical reactions, biological processes, and ecosystem health. Many factors can influence a solution's pH, including the presence of acids, bases, and certain dissolved substances. Maintaining appropriate pH levels is vital for many industrial and biological processes.
