An acidic solution is of that is very high is the amount of hydrogen ions [H+]
we measure this with a pH.
pH is defined a -log[H+]
so if H+ = large like 1.5 Molar
then pH = -log(1) = 0.17
but is H+ = 1 * 10^-10M
the pH = 10
LOW pH mean ACIDIC and a
HIGH pH means BASIC

acid or base is expressed using the PH scale
power of hydrogen
it goes from 0 - 14
7 is neutral (water)
0 is acid eg: sulfuric acid
14 is base eg: milk
a acid solucion also holds h+ ions
a base solution holds OH- ions
so an acid solution is a solution with an PH of 0-7
and t contains more H+ than OH- ions
