A solution with a pH of 7 has equal concentrations of protons (H+) and hydroxides (OH-). The concentration will be 1 x 10-7 M for both. A pH at this number is referred to as neutral (not acidic or basic due to equal concentrations of protons and hydroxides). Water has a pH around 7, making water a neutral compound in most cases.

A solution of pH 7 is perfectly neutral. It has equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide (which exist in equilibrium with water); pure water in a selaed airless container is ~pH 7, although air and temperature can affect it through the formation of carbonaic acid and because of thermodynamics. Solutions can be formed to adjust this using many different compound combinations to perfect the pH of a solution to 7.

In practise, many are close enough that there may as well not be a difference (a common concept when dealing with pH and solutions). They include pure water itself, sugar solutions, those of many different salts and some organic compounds.

Although theoretically it could be a number of possibilities, with a pH level of 7, the solution is most likely to be distilled water.
