Answer:

Ph measures how acidic or water-based something is.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH on a level of 7 means it's neutral.

pH less than 7 means acidity

pH greater than 7 is a base

Answer: Hello :)

pH measures how acidic or basic a substance is.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pH of anything less than 7.0 is considered Acidic

A pH of anything greater than 7.0 is considered Basic

A pH of 7 is considered neutral because the concentrations of H+ and OH- are equivalent.
