why PH scale range is 14? why it is not less or not greater
than 14? solution of HCl or hydrogen containing liquid has
a PH. but if the solution is KMnO4 here not hydrogen power
does it PH? explain plz....

pH range is 14 because water pKa value is 14.without water
we can't find pH .also as per equestion,
pH+ POH=14

pH is a scale that was introduced by sorenson,The terms pH
& pOH literally means potenz(strength) of Hydrogen ions &
hydroxyl ions.Thus it can be measured for any compound that
can be ionised to give these ions in their aqueous
solutions & not for other compounds.Furthermore the H+ ions
& OH- ions can dissociate to a extent of 10^-7 & not more
than that for any aqueous solution i.e.10^-7+10^-7=10^-14
