🧪 Ever wondered why more acid actually means a smaller number on the pH scale? It all comes down to balance—the relationship between hydrogen (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions. A higher concentration of H⁺ makes a solution more acidic, lowering its pH. 💧 Neutral solutions sit right in the middle at 7, while acids fall below and bases above. Together, pH and pOH always equal 14—a perfect equilibrium that helps water quality professionals monitor and maintain chemical balance. Learn more about the s
