An Acid is below pH7 on the pH scale and alkalis are above pH7 on the scale. The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14. Acids and Alkalis can react with your skin and therefore it may seriously damage it. With a universal indicator added to them, Acids are red and Alkalis are blue. An example of an acid is Hydrochloric acid and an example of an alkali is Sodium Hydroxide.
