Answer:

Acid end

Step-by-step explanation:

The acid end of the pH scale contains solutions that have the most hydrogen ions.

  • A convenient scale for expressing the level of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions is the pH or pOH scale .
  • The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base 10 of the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution.
  • The scale ranges from 1 to 14
  • 1 is the lower limit and 14, the upper limit
  • Acidic solution has a pH value less than 7.
  • As pH decreases the hydrogen ions concentration increases.
  • Neutral solutions have pH of 7
  • Basic solutions have pH greater than 7.
