>>11376427am.I missing some info that makes me appear like adoofus?
>>11376449this is in fact a misconception as it's merely relative to water dissociation and water based indicators
when tested on both sidescwith potentiometric ph meter glacial acetic acid (and for that matter every acid, and every base... atleast in non aqueous conditions) show up as neutral and react acidically in confrontation with a base (whose metal ions bind the acid's conjugated base) amd through redox chemistry reduce the amount of hydrogen atoms and thus raise the pH
tjough if they are confronted by a stronger acid they will react basically which will result in increasement of hydrogen atoms and thus lower the pH
but the greatest pleassure await once you unlock amohoteric elements and transition metal complexes, where an ion can act both as a base or as an acid depending of thd pH media
but wait, theres more
the hydrated knick knacks of orgsnometallic comolexes dissolved in non polar solvents provide the possibility to change the pH of NPSs, thus breaking the rules of the game nonpolar solvents don't have a pH when they can have some pH
