Step-by-step explanation:

pH is used to measure the concentration of H+ ions ([H+]) and therefore, whether a substance is acidic or basic (alkaline). Solutions with a pH of less than seven are acidic, while those with a pH greater than seven are basic (alkaline).

Answer:

greater than 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A base is any solution with a pH greater than 7. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. For example, the pH of water. An acid is any solution with a pH less than 7.

Hope that helps.
