  • pH Scale: How Many Times Stronger is pH 11 Than pH 8?
    Here's how to figure out the difference in acidity/alkalinity using pH:

    * Understanding pH: pH is a logarithmic scale that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Each whole number difference in pH represents a tenfold difference in acidity or alkalinity.

    * Calculation:

    * The difference in pH between 11 and 8 is 11 - 8 = 3

    * Since each whole number difference represents a tenfold change, a pH of 11 is 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 times more alkaline than a pH of 8.

    Therefore, a substance with a pH of 11 is 1000 times more alkaline than a substance with a pH of 8.
