pH Scale
30. An inverse measure of hydronium ions in a solution is called pH.
31. Bases usually taste bitter.
32. A compound that changes color at different pH values when it reacts with acidic
or basic solutions is called an indicator.
33. In an acid the hydronium concentration is greater than the hydroxide
concentration.

heterogenous mixture is unevenly mixed while a homogeneous mixture is evenly
mixed.
