alkaline |
Term that describes a certain pH factor. The pH factor stands for a concentration of hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions present, the more acidic the condition. The pH scale reaches from 1 (= very acidic) to 14 (= very alkaline). Pure water has a pH value around 7 and is neutral. Our blood has a pH value of 7.35 (compare also acid-alkaline balance).
