What is a pH scale How do you make a pH scale pls answer FAST?
its something used to see whether a substance is an acid or alkali. the scale is as follows 1-3 is a strong acid 4-6 is a weak acid 7 is neutral (distilled water) 8-9 is weak alkali 10-14 is a strong alkali
What do indicators test for?
Indicators are used to test if something for example whether vinegar is an acid or alkali. Due to the pH scale, 1 - 3 is a strong acid, 4 - 6 is a weak acid, 7 is neutral, 8 - 10 is a weak alkali and 11 - 14 is a strong alkali. Vinegar should turn orange when added with an indicator, with the pH of about 3.

What is the difference of litmus paper and a pH paper?
pH.paper tells the strength of an acid and alkali and litmus paper tells that whether the substance is an acid or an alkali.
Disadvantages of litmus paper?
only tells you whether it is an acid or alkali.
What shows whether something is an alkali or acid?
You can use indicators (liquid or paper). Universal Indicators (UI) are the best, as with them you can tell if something is acid, neutral or alkali, depending on the colour (there will be a colour indicator). However, you can also use red and blue indicator, but they are less accurate, as although they might be acid (or alkali), they might be neutral as well, so I suggest you use UI. Hope this helps :) Source: Science lessons!

Is washing powder an acid or a base?
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11
