In 1909 S.P.L Sorenson, a Danish biochemeist devised a scale known as pH to represents the H^+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution. The pH value of any solution is a number that simply represents the acidity and basicity of the solution.

• Substances  which have a pH value of 7 are neither basic nor acidic which means they're neutral in nature.

• Substances that have a pH value of less than 7 are acidic in nature.
