Chemists use the pH scale to describe the relative strength of an acid or base. Acids have pH values less than 7, while bases have pH values greater than 7. The lower the pH value, the stronger the acid, and the higher the pH value, the stronger the base.
The scale used to indicate the strength of an acid or base is called the pH scale. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, values below 7 indicating acidity, and values above 7 indicating alkalinity.
Usually a strong acid will produce a lower pH, but not always. pH is not a measure of the strength of an acid (or base) but the acidity of a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in the solution.
A weak base on the pH scale would have a pH value greater than 7 but less than 10. A pH of 3 would indicate a strong acid rather than a weak base.
No, purified water is considered neutral on the pH scale, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid.
A base is anywhere from 8 to 14 on the Ph scale. If a base of about 8 is added to and acid of about 6, the Ph will be balanced out.

it indicate the acid and base of the scale
An acid is below 7 on the pH scale and bases are above 7 on the pH scale. An acid can be a hydrogen donor, and a base is a hydrogen acceptor.
An acid is 0-6 on the pH scale. Neutral is around a 7. Around 8 and above is the pH for a base.
It's an 8.3 on the pH scale, so it's a base
Yes. A base has a pH of greater than 7. An acid has a pH of less than 7.
