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?
yes
When multiplying numbers what do you do with the positive and negative signs?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
Is the acid fast stain positive or negative in the sample?
The acid-fast stain is positive in the sample.
Is acid fast bacteria gram positive or negative?
Acid-fast bacteria are gram-positive.
Is lysine considered a positive or negative amino acid?
Lysine is considered a positive amino acid.
In a car battery an acid solution is called?
In a car battery, the acid solution is called electrolyte. It is typically a mixture of sulfuric acid and water that helps facilitate the flow of electrical current between the battery's positive and negative terminals.
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.
An arrhenius acid has 1.only hydroxide ions in solution. 2.only hydrogen ions in solution. 3.hydrogen ions as the only positive ions in solution. 4.hydrogen ions as the only negative ions in solut?
An Arrhenius acid has only hydrogen ions in solution.
What is produced when an acid is mixed with water?
When an acid is mixed with water, it forms a solution that contains both the acid molecules and hydronium ions (H3O+). The acid donates a proton to the water molecule, generating hydronium ions which are responsible for the acidic properties of the solution.
Is the acid fast stain result positive or negative for the sample?
The acid-fast stain result is positive for the sample.
Is the acid fast staining result positive or negative for the sample?
The acid-fast staining result for the sample is positive.
Is the presence of cations in a solution typically associated with a positive or negative charge?
Cations in a solution are typically associated with a positive charge.
What four components of a lead acid battery?
The components of lead acid batteries include: * The outer case, or housing. * Plates [Positive and Negative]. * Intercell connectors. * Terminals [Positive and Negative]. * Electrolyte [Sulphuric Acid].
What does a neutral solution have an equal number of?
Positive and negative charges.
