Lower pHs are more acidic
Higher pHs are more basic.
Therefore, the pH of 5 will be more acidic than pH of 7 **
also, the pH of 7 is neutral.
Edit by Kelvin876: Higher pHs are alkalines.
**Each number lower is 10 times greater in acidity than the prior number. This would mean that a solution with a pH of 5 is 100 times greater in acidity compared to a solution with a pH of 7.
A solution with a pH of 7 compared to a solution with a pH of 9 would be more acidic.
100 times more Hydrogen ions are in solution of pH=5 as compare to pH=7.
A pH 2 solution is 100,000 times more acidic than a pH 7 solution. pH 2 is acidic whereas pH 7 is neutral
It depends on what the solution is. What affects the pH is the element. If there are more H+ ions in the solution you're referring to, the solution will be more acidic (lower pH). If there are more (OH)- ions in the solution, the solution will be more basic (higher pH).
It is lower, below 7.

If the pH value is 6 or less, the solution is acidic. If the pH is 8 or greater, the solution is basic. A pH of 7 is neutral.
It should be between 2-5 in the ph scale if dissolved in water
concentration of OH- is 100 times greater than what it was at PH 5
Neutral solution: pH =7Acidic solution: pH7.

ph of developing may varry in b/t 5 to 7.
A pH of 5 is mildly acidic. The rule is a pH of 7 is neutral, anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline or basic.
