pH scale has to do with the amount of ionic hydrogen present. This determines the alkalinity or acidity of a substance. Basically, if the substance has a pH lower than a 7 the pH scale for the substance is acid. If its higher than 7, its alkaline, if its 7 on the scale, its a base.

∙ 12y agoThe higher it goes, the more alkali something is. The lower it goes the more acidic it is.
If it's in the middle, it's neutral.
It tells you how much acid or alkali something is by colours and numbers.

How is The pH scale calibrated to tell acids from bases?
The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14. 1 is extremely acidic, 7 in neutral (pure water), and 14 is extremely basic.
