Best Answer

A substance is classified as an acid or a base, based on the pH of the substance. pH is the rating of a substance compared to water, which is considered neutral. Water has a pH of 7.0. A substance with a pH less than water is considered acid and higher than water is considered a base. The pH of a substance is determined by a mathematical formula that represents the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution.
