The pH scale is used to measure
A
the amount of smog in a particular region
B
whether solutins are acidic or alkaline
C
wind speed
D
air pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pH scale measures how acidic an object is. Objects that are not very acidic are called basic. The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic).

Detailed explanation-3: -The pH scale Anything below 7.0 is acidic, and anything above 7.0 is alkaline, or basic. pH scale, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic/alkaline) and listing the pH values of common substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -In chemistry, the pH scale is a numeric index used to specify acidity and alkalinity of aqueous solutions.

Detailed explanation-5: -pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of the water as ranked on a scale of 1.0 to 14.0. The lower the pH of water, the more acidic it is. The higher the pH of water, the more basic, or alkaline, it is.
