the pH scale is a measurement of acidity of liquids. it ranges from a rating on 1 to 14. when it is at 1, it is very acidic and at 14 it is a strong alkali but at 7, its neutral like water. the pH scale also shows acidity by colour- at 1 it is a strong red, at 7 it is a green and at 14, it is a purple. ;)

Why is a pH scale called a pH scale?

The pH scale is a scale to express the acidity of aqueous solutions (i.e. anything dissolved in water). The scale is divided in equi-distantial units with decimals, comparable with temperature or pressure scales. Commonly it goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pH stands for parts of hydrogen. It is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration.
