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....

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

Answer / omkar
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

Answer / sachin
This is the scale to measure the concentration (activity) of H+ Ions in solution which is -log[H+] convenient for our usage

What is positive testing in relation to chemistry? For example, the sentence reads "Sample solutions are solutions known to contain one of each of the following ions, silver ion, Ag+(aq), barium ion, Ba2+(aq), and iron (III) ion, Fe3+(aq). Testing solutions are the solutions containing a polyatomic ion that can react with one of the metal ions to give a positive test." I am then asked to define what a "positive test" is. I am currently a student who is pretty new to chemistry, please try and make your answer as simply as possible. Thanks for the help.
