Acidic

Describes a substance with a pH less than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH

A numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, with values ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).

Buffers

Solutions or substances that minimize changes in pH when acids or bases are added to them, maintaining stability in biological and chemical systems.
