The pH Scale
The pH scale is a scale from 0 to 14 which describes how acidic a certain substance is.
If it falls near pH 0, it is more of an acid. If it falls near pH 14, it is more of a base.
In other words, 0 is the most acidic and 14 is the least.
Where does a substance that you know of fall under?
