The pH scale is a scale to measure how acidic or basic/alkaline a solution is. It ranges from 1 to 14, with 1 being the most acidic and 14 being most basic. 7 is neutral (e.g: distilled water). The scale is lathargic, meaning it increases by a factor of 10 each time. This means that an acid with a pH of 3 is 10 times more acidic than an acid with a pH of 4. Same for the bases.

Note: There are some solutions that go beyond the range of 1-14, but most will stay within.
