A very low pH means high acidic water and the water will contain high concentration hydrogen ions [[tex]H^+[/tex]].

pH scale helps us to measure the acidic or basic nature of a substance or water.

  • The range of pH scale is between 0 to 14,
  • a pH of 7 indicates the neutral solution or substance.
  • if the pH of the substance is low, that is less than 7, the substance is acidic.
  • also, if the pH of the substance is high, that is greater than 7,  the substance is alkaline.

In general, pH measures the relative amount of free hydrogen ion [[tex]H^+[/tex]] and hydroxyl ions [[tex]OH^{-1}[/tex]] present in a water.

  • If a water contains high concentration of hydrogen ions [[tex]H^+[/tex]], then the water is acidic,
  • Also, if the water contains high concentration of hydroxyl ions [[tex]OH^{-1}[/tex]] , then the water is basic.

Thus, a very low pH means high acidic water and the water will contain high concentration hydrogen ions [[tex]H^+[/tex]].
