The pH Scale & Neutralization
pH ranges 0-14. pH < 7 is acidic, pH = 7 is neutral, pH > 7 is basic. Tooth decay starts when mouth pH falls below 5.5.

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips
Step-by-Step Mark Allocation
Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.
Common Calculation Traps
Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.

Frequently Asked Exam Questions & Concept Clarifications
Why does dry HCl gas not turn dry blue litmus red?
Dry HCl does not form hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) in absence of water; acidic properties only manifest in aqueous medium.
