Whether something is acid or base the strength of that solution is measured by the pH scale. 0 (zero) is the most acid and 14 is the most base. distilled water measures 7 and is completely neutral. Ammonia is an example of a base and is usually measured at a pH of 11.6. So the answer to your question is that an acid has a positive pH. There is no such thing as a negative pH.

What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
Is the sum of a positive number and negative number always a negative number?
No. In the case of 5 + (-3), for example, the positive number 2 is the solution. The sum would only be negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the positive number.
What could happen if you are charging your battery and put the negative on the positive and positive on the negative?
It could explode, getting battery acid all over you and anyone else nearby.
Is the solution of 2x 3x-12-5x a positive or negative integer explain?

Is sugar a alkaline or acid or neutral?
Sugar is a salt (bear with me here) which contains as many positive ions as negative ones so would be effectively neutral in solution
Are crystals in the urine negative or positive?
Crystals in the urine are probably uric acid, although there are other possibilities such as oxalic acid. Crystals are not negative or positive, they are neutral. An ionic compound is composed of both positive and negative ions, which add up to a neutral compound.
What does a neutral solution have an equal number of?
Positive and negative charges.
What is the substance that produces positive hydrogen ions in a liquid solution?
This is an acid.
What is a substance that produces positive hydrogen ions in a liquid solution?
This is an acid.
What is formed from a positive ion base and a negative ion from an acid?
A salt
Positive ions from a base and negative ions from an acid form a what?
A salt
Is nitric acid a positive or negative ion?
Neither. No substance on its own on is an ion. Nitric acid is electrically neutral. When dissolved in water, nitric acid breaks apart, releasing both positive hydronium ions and negative nitrate ions.
When a battery is discharged the electrolyte solution is changing?
yes because there is an exchange between the positive and negative plates were the solution will be highly concentrated with negative irons
