DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Describe the role of pH in determining the strength of an acid or base.

• The lower the pH, the stronger the base; the higher the pH, the stronger the acid.

• The lower the pH, the stronger the acid; the higher the pH, the stronger the base.

• pH does not affect the strength of acids or bases.

• pH is only relevant for neutral solutions.
