The pH is measure from 1 to 14. so, from 1 to 6.9 the substance is acidic. and from 7.01 to 14 the substance is basic. 7 is neutral. The closer the substance is to 7 it is either basic or acidic. As the number is lower the substance is more acidic for example: pH 2.9 is more acidic than pH 4.8

What is the base of an acid?
The base of an acid is a substance that can accept a proton or donate an electron pair. It acts as a proton acceptor in a chemical reaction. Examples of bases include hydroxide ions (OH-) and ammonia (NH3).
How can you test a substance to see if it is an acid or a base through pH meter?
To test if a substance is an acid or a base using a pH meter, simply dip the pH meter probe into the substance and observe the pH reading. A pH reading below 7 indicates an acid, while a pH reading above 7 indicates a base.
A substance with pH of 6 is called what?
Anything with a pH less than 7 is an acid. Anything with a pH greater than 7 is a base. pH = 7 is neutral
What is a substance that resists a pH change when small amounts of acid or base are added?
A buffer solution is a substance that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Buffers are typically composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid) that can neutralize added acid or base without drastic changes in pH.
What value on the pH scale represents a strong acid a strong base and a neutral substance?
Strong acid = 1 pH ( or lower ) Strong base = 14 pH ( or higher ) Neutral solution = 7 pH
What makes a base or an acid?
To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, you look at it's pH. If it is over 7, it is a base. If it is below 7, it is an acid. If the pH is 7, the substance is neutral.
Is a substance with a pH of 6 an acid base or neutral?
a weak acid
What is an acid and base?
An acid base indicator is a substance that changes colour due the PH of the medium in which it is dissolved.

What is acid base indicator?
An acid base indicator is a chemical substance that has the ability to change color depending on the pH.
What are you measuring when you measure the pH of a substance?
It is the measure between acid and base...
How can you determine if substance is acid or base?
pH paper and litmus paper
Is water substance classify as a strong acid acid neutral or strong base or base?
Water is classified as a neutral substance. It has a pH of 7, which is right in the middle of the pH scale, indicating it is neither an acid nor a base.
