The pH strip is used for the determination of pH. The four colors on each strip correlate to. a pH range of 0 to 14. In the presence of fluid with normal pH (7.0), the strip willshow. the four colors of yellow-orange, orange, olive green, and yellow. In the presence of acidic. fluids (pH 5), the strip will display the four colors of yellow-orange, orange, tan and. yellow. The pH of gastric fluid is normally acidic.
Introduction and Definitions: Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe a chemical property chemicals. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out or neutralize their extreme effects. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.
