Answer:

An acid

Step-by-step explanation:

On the pH scale, 7 is neutral, or the pH of pure water. Any substance with a pH of lower than 7 is an acid, while anything with a pH of higher than 7 is a base. The pH scale is measured logarithmically, meaning that each step up is 10 times more powerfully either base or acidic, whichever side it was on.
