What is sodium hydroxide pH level?

pH level is a measure of acidity, the simplest way to understand it is the lower the pH value the more acid something is, and the higher the pH value the more alkali something is. Finaly a value of pH 7 is neutral (neither acid or alkali).pH does not show the amount of Sodium Hydroxide present, however the pH would increase if Sodium Hydroxide was added because Sodium Hydroxide is alkali.The pH of concentrated (1 M) Sodium Hydroxide is 14.
