It determines how acidic it is.
The pH scale is a measurement system that indicates the concentration of Hydrogen ions also called Protons.
ph scale
The pH system is used to indicate the concentration of hydronium ('H+') ions in solution. It is governed by the equation pH = -log[H+]
the pH scale. as the pH of the solution decreases (below 7), the concentration of H+ ions increases. as the pH of the solution increases (above 7), the concentration of H+ ions decreases. (if the pH is 7, the solution is neutral).

The pH scale is a Science indicator, Not a Mathmatical one :-)
Chemists devised a measurement system called the pH scale to indicate the concentration of hypotonic ions in solution. Therefore the higher the pH scale gets the more persistant it is.
pH
it makes up of molecules that have an even concentration throughout the system.

it has a high hydrogen ion concentration and a lower pH.
