The pH scale isn't used for measuring anything. It tells if a substance is an acid or a base. On the pH scale, 7 or more is considered a base. lower than 7, on the pH scale is considered an acid. Acids are usually sour, sweet, or have a very sweet, bitter taste. Usually Bright colors. And Bases are mostly poisons. THey have a horrible bitter taste. Some can kill you if inhaled or consumed.
