yeah

Most house hold cleaners are basic

@Muten not negative

More H+

I know some acids do have negative pH but I'm not to sure how the sclae works

can't remember

wiat

Hmmmm, I don't remember

am I completely wrong

?

But it's only 1

Not negative

If you're thinking of it like 7 is neutral and like 0 on a number scale

It's a fitting analogy

But the pH scale is logarithmic and has to do with free H+ or OH groups

Iirc

The log function has negative values...

Makes sense, I'm most saying sulfur springs are about 1

@Diocleziano I wasnt saying it didn't :3

Yeah I was thinking of HCl and confused it with sulfur

Im just saying these are totally ~1

It all depends really

So it is possible to have negative ph?

Acids are one end bases are another

Probably

Yes, high molarity of H ions

but it's difficult to test it

Gotcha

You'd calculate it as such.

you can calculate negative pH but we can't test it

Per the article and that makes sense based on what I remember

You can, but at that point it's not really worth it tbh

Like calculating pi lol

Yeah, but for a different reason

Pi doesn't have a measurable real world parallel, you can't reliable draw a circle with a calculated pi value circumference like you can cook up an acid with a calculated negative pH

At that point theres likely to be a lot of error due to the physical nature of what's being tested

the closer to 7 the more reliable it is to calculate and test
