pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, while those with a pH greater than seven are considered basic.
A pH of 7 would be neutral. Pure water for example.

The pH of a solution measures how much acidity or basicity it has in it.
Solutions that have a pH lower than 7 is acidic, while solutions that have a pH higher than 7 is basic. Solutions that have a pH of 7 are considered neutral. It's all on a scale of 1 - 14.
Example: Lemon juice is a 2.4 on the pH scale, so it is considered acidic. Soap, ranging in 9 - 10 pH levels, is considered basic. Water, with a pH of 7, is considered neutral.
Also, if you mixed just the right amount of an acidic solution with a basic solution.. they could cancel eachoher out and make a neutral solution. Watch this for additional info...
