Can the ph scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowery, and Lewis)? Explain reasoning.

No, the pH scale can not be utilized for all types of acids known

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale that shows the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated from 0-14. The pH scale is mostly applied to Arrhenius acids. Recall that in the Arrhenius definition, an acid produces hydrogen ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ion in solution. Hence we could easily measure or calculate the pH and pOH of Arrhenius acids. Arrhenius acids apply mostly to acid-base discussion in Aqueous media.

Beyond aqueous media, we can still apply the Brownstead-Lowry and Lewis definitions for acid and base. Some of these substances to which we apply these other definitions of acid and base do not necessarily contain hydrogen or hydroxide ions hence the pH scale can not be utilized in discussing their acid-base properties, hence the answer.
